Tina's was a bit modded...

The neck on my '95 Mustang is nice and slim, so Joey would hate it. The string spacing at the nut and bridge (*see below) is stock Jazz Bass, only shorter in scale length.

Intonation is fine with the TI Jazz Flats I have on mine; I also have a *Hipshot A style bridge on it as I wanted the string spacing a bit wider than the stock bridge. This required splaying out the string-through-body holes a bit to allow the strings to pass through the holes in the bridge for this; I could have mounted the strings through-bridge but I wanted the extra length through-body gave me for the long scale strings I had on hand.

I like the bass and tone Tina has in this :

Possibly my favorite rock 'n roll performance of all time. Bass is cool too.

This one's pretty fun, too.

Stop making sense is definately the best performance.

Interesting....in the Life During Wartime video Tina has a different bass at 2:32 for that one shot only. So, obviously, this video was edited from at least two different shows.

This bass:

I like Psycho Killer, my brother, Damian, is getting me into them now. I have only recently heard of them, and I enjoyed this performance. I like the whole "Raw" look where they show the stage crew.

The Shure SM58 grilles were painted matte black per request of David Byrne. (My brother just told me this)

Ivan - you have good taste man. Keep up the good work.

Thanks...no rap for me. (Except Will Smith, hes pretty good!)

Rap is fine. Just don't start listening to the Bangles.
