Nikolai Fraiture

Nikolai is seen playing a Fender American Standard Jazz Bass in Sunburst in this photo shared to Instagram and many other live performance photos.

On 8/20/14, Ampeg let Nikolai Fraiture takeover their account for a day to take pictures of The Strokes and their show in Las Vegas, which was that night. Nikolai posted a picture of his pedalboard, and on the bottom right the Grombass can be seen.

At 4:38 we can see Nikolai playing "taken for a fool" bass line on a black precision bass.

This Instagram photo from Nikolai (posted Aug 2014) shows his pedalboard setup. It includes the Electro-Harmonix Bass MicroSynth Pedal (bottom row, second from the right).

Nikolai can be seen playing A Rickenbacker 4003 in The Strokes video for "Last Nite." There is an especially clear view of the bass at around 0:53.

Ampeg gave Nikolai control of their Instagram account on August 20th, 2014. He posted a picture of his pedalboard, which is more varied than one might of thought. The Boss ME-50B takes a large spot upon his board.

In a BrooklynVegan article, Nikolai Fraiture is seen playing an Epiphone Riviera Nick Valensi Signature Electric Guitar during a performance with his solo project, Nickel Eye.

In this video we can see Nikolai playing a blue Fender Stratocaster

On the 18th of December 2012, Nikolai Fraiture replied to a fan's question asking what picks he used. He replied "that one" The question, originally in French, has been translated on Twitter's website.

At 1:08 we can see Nikolai playing a Fender deluxe precision bass.

Nikolai Fraiture is pictured with a Höfner CT Series Contemporary Club Electric Bass, as seen in a photo provided by Höfner Guitars.

In every music video and stage appearance, Nikolai is accompanied by his Ampeg 8x10 SVT Cabinet, commonly know as "the fridge", powered by an Amped SVT-CL head. He is endorsed by Ampeg.

Nikolai is sponsored by Ampeg, and it is stated on the Ampeg site that he uses the SVT-CL Classic Bass Head. It is also visible in just about every Strokes music video and piece of concert footage.

At 1:10 of the video, we can see the gold and black Fender logo on the head, as well as the PJ pickups

At 0:02 in the Stroke's "Juicebox" music video, Nikolai Fraiture can be seen weilding a Musicman Stringray. It is apparent through the video and easily spotted, particularly as the song begins at 0:44.

In the "Last Nite", Nikolai can be found with a Boss TU-2 at 0:29.

In the "Threat Of Joy" music video from the 2016 "Future, Present, Past" EP, a close examination of a photo reveals the "NOISELESS" lettering on Nikolai Fraiture's bridge pickup, identifying it as part of the Fender Vintage Noiseless Jazz Bass Single Coil 2-piece Pickup Set. The evidence is supported by an image showing this detail. I would have picked a Gen 4 Nosieless set or àn Ultra Noiseless set however the only available Fender Noiseless Jazz Bass pickups were Vintage Noiseless (differentiated by the font of the “NOISELESS” lettering)
