I’m wondering about Tina Weymouth’s bass in this photo and the following video.
I’m not sure if this has been posted here before, but I noticed the neck pickup on this bass. I would guess that this is a Mustang bass, but the pickups look different from other Mustangs I have seen. It looks more like a J/P than a P/J. Does anyone here have some insight that they can share about this bass?
Thanks.

Is this like Fox on Sox?

Custom basses.

Not a Jazz pickup, but looks like a Duo Sonic pickup in the picture (more than 4 strings, actually 8). I can’t make out the poles which makes my think Duo Sonic

The video I can see a hint of the poles, which makes me think a Musicmaster pickup on the neck

And the P-bass pickup in the middle position is definitely custom as Fender didn’t add them until the 2010s to my knowledge

As you can tell, Duo Sonics, Musicmasters, and Mustangs all had the same body shape. Could be any of them

They are also missing the selector switches Fender puts on “Mustangs” so again, custom

Thank you. I felt there was a good chance that it was customized.

14 year old Alli Cazaam: Prince gave her this song before he died and she funked the **** out of it. Featuring on background vocals, wait for it…Prince!

Idk if anyone has mentioned her yet, but Emma Anzai is really cool. She’s in Sick Puppies and Evanescence.

Kinga now under the wings of Snarky Puppy’s Micheal League. Still whimsical stuff, but much darker, edgier than her happy-go-lucky stuff she had done a lot in the past… interesting:

I’ve liked Kinga’s playing; her music, not so much. Hope she continues down this road

She’s the best! I find her playing style really inspiring. I learn things just from how she articulates her fills and techniques. She has great chops but it all supports the songs, the music comes first. It’s a refreshing contrast to some of the skill competitions you see on YT some times.

I’ve not seen any mentions of them here, but Coal Chamber, afaik, have always had a woman on bass.
They started out with Rayna Foss:

Briefly had Chela Rhea Harper playing for them:

Currently working with Nadja Peulen:

This track is one of my all time favourites and one of the very reasons I wanted to learn bass ( Meshell Ndegeocello - Make Me Wanna Holler):
