In most of her time play with the Pumpkins and other bands during 1999-2000 in most live shows. The bass itself is either a custom Fender P-Bass or a heavily modified one. It's body is a silver sparkle and it has a black pickguard, most likely with either modified pickups, or stock ones (I'm not certain of either end of the debate.)
