A 60's 4001. If he always had it like that on stage with Heep I think it's a miracle it wasn't stomped over by a drunken David Byron:

I remember an article from Metal Hammer in 1987 and there was a pic of Wetton's gear and he had the Rick then too. In a Melody Maker article in 1976 he said he bought the bass from the States as a spare for his beloved Precision. He also bought his black maple necked Jazz but didn't use either much.

Someone needed a stand! I recall seeing that Jazz bass on the "Heat Of The Moment" video by Asia.

Where's the Jazz?

The bass was actually knocked over. In this pic it is still properly in a stand:

Ronn, there's no Jazz in the pic above. I remember seeing an UH pic where he had both the Rick and the Jazz in stands on stage and he played (as always) the Precision.

Hi, I was reading this thread and remembered I saw Wetton playing a 4001 in this Asia video. Probably Asia's version of a hoakey 80's love song..
