Kevin Parker

In this mini documentary, you can see it's distinct capsule at around 10:47 of the video. Some people mistook it for the AKG C451 but you can clearly see that it's definitely the SM81.

Kevin bought this bass in Japan (2009) along with his 1967 Rickenbacker 335 Jetglo. LINK: https://www.premierguitar.com/artists/guitarists/tame-impala-psych-wunderkind-kevin-parker . People seem to be confused as to what year but it can be boiled down to a 62' or 63' because the 64' 500/1 basses started using neck binding and the 65'+ basses have a wider pickup surround ring. Also it is a darker sunburst from a 62 model. Nick Albrook used it for live sessions/concerts and seen on the Expectaion and Elephant music video. This bass in particular was used up until 2013 since the bass fell over on stage before their Coachella 2013 week one performance. Dinasour Jr.'s Lou Barlow personally lended Nick his Rickenabcker 4003 bass for the performance. The bass was later replaced by a later year Hofner. *In this video at 1:14 Nick Albrook is seen playing this bass in 2012.

In this video of the the 'Dee Dee Dums' (early Tame Impala), Keving is seen using a 'Epiphone Les Paul 100 Vintage' guitar. It is quite obvious that it is this guitar for three main reasons the Sunburst detail on the body, the circle fret detailing, and the double black single coil humbuckers.
