Jeff Tweedy

Jeff Tweedy owns an Epiphone Jack Casady Signature Bass, as listed in the Wilco Loft Sale on Reverb. This modern bass features new flatwound strings and is noted for its punch and power. While the frequency switch requires some adjustment, the instrument is in excellent condition with minimal wear.

On this site, there is a photo of Tweedy performing with Uncle Tupelo, playing a Fender Precision Bass.

Why have one when you can have two? That was the very sound reasoning behind Gibson's release of the EB-3 as a two-pickup upgrade to the EB-0, and now you can get your hands on Jeff Tweedy's. This specimen sports a beautifully preserved mahogany body and neck and rosewood fretboard with plenty of life left in it. Non-original bridge but all other hardware and electronics are in perfect working order, including the four-way selector.

Jeff Tweedy owns a reissue of the Danelectro Longhorn Bass, as noted in the Wilco Loft Shop listing on Reverb. This Korean-made bass was considered for its potential to enhance the studio's collection of unique instruments. Although it didn't add anything new to their existing selection, it remains in excellent condition with a notably shiny finish.

Tweedy can be seen in this photo among his guitar collection, including a Rickenbacker 4005/6 to his right.

Jeff Tweedy owns a Höfner 500/1 Bass, which was featured in the Wilco Loft Sale on Reverb. This reissue of the iconic Beatle violin bass, famously associated with Paul McCartney, boasts authentic details such as a spruce top, flamed maple back and sides, and a set neck made of maple, beech, and maple with a rosewood fretboard. The bass, likely from the 2010s, offers a 42mm nut, 30" scale, 22 frets, and dot inlays. Despite its very light wear and a small mark on the headstock, it remains an excellent playing instrument.

Check out this crazy cool custom shop mutt. Precision Bass body and pickup selection with a Jazz Bass neck. It's got a relic'd neck with a nice worn seafoam sparkle finish to match. A total franken-bass with some killer tone and worn feel made this way by Fender. It sports new flat wound strings, modern hardware, and a RSD bridge. This bass is remarkably clean. Ships in its OHSC from the Fender Custom Shop.

Not only was this guitar straight out of Jeff Tweedy's collection, it's also super rare! Hagstrom only made 1100 of these altogether. This model was touted as their flagship bass model during this era. Minor scratches and knicks from years of wear but dang, it's 53 years old. You'd have minor scratches and knicks too! All electrics work great. This has been worked on and well maintained. There's some minor scratch in the volume control slider that went away after some routine sliding. Super easy to control while playing. The pushbutton pickup and tone switches work well. There are two for the pickups and two for bright or deep tone. The action is wonderfully low and the neck is straight and is extremely easy to play. Currently set up with flatwounds.
