Robert DeLeo

Also, right before we started recording, I finally found a 1971 fire-glow Rickenbacker 4001 with “toaster” pickups, and that’s what I used on “Black Heart.”

DeLeo states "I used a 1965 Fender Precision on “Same on the Inside."

Robert used this bass when he recorded "Big Empty, "Atlanta" and "Hello It's Late". He also used it on the performance for MTV Unplugged in November 1993. He describes this bass as a "Japanese bass from the ’60s that’s like a Gibson version of a Vox Beatle bass" or a "scroll-headstock Hofner."
