Sean Yeaton's main bass. He removed the pickguard and placed a trasparent plate to protect the knobs and the electronic parts.

In this Interview with no treble, Yeaton states that he uses a '84 Fender Bullet Bass with a Fender Precision Bass neck.

"We were leaving for a European tour last summer and both of the basses that I packed never showed up when we landed. They subsequently never showed up on the entire tour, then they got delivered back to me and they were both broken. Someone had gone through my cases. It was such substantial damage that the necks were cracked on both and they were littered with TSA agent pamphlets. The disregard for these instruments was crazy. I had this ’50s P-Bass reissue and my Bullet bass. I loved the pickups from the Bullet bass so I took the neck off of it and put the P-Bass neck on the body, but then the pickguard didn’t fit because the neck is a little wider at the end of the P-Bass. I ordered an acrylic pickguard because I thought it would be funny and a passive-aggressive way to show TSA agents that I don’t have drugs hidden inside of it."
