Ok,

First, let me say that my buddy is PROBABLY pulling my leg, but.....

He said that he watched Lester Holt this am on the TODAY SHOW, and he was playing a 75th DCM 4003 on location in California.

He didn't say much, other than the event itself. He said he had NO idea Lester Holt played bass, not to mention a RIC, and a DCM at that!

Can anyone confirm or deny?

Sounds like he's pulling a fast one on me, being he know's I'm patiently waiting "precious" to arrive...

Well, if it's true, then that's one hip broadcaster.

Hope he wasn't playing mine. Ask your friend if he thanked CME or Ed Roman...lol!

I saw the show, it was a Jazz Bass.

COOL, thanks Sam....

I figured my buddy was trying to get a rise out of me....You know what they say about PAYBACKS.....

Was the jazz bass a DCM?

This P Bass comes close.

"Damn", that IS close!

If it had the "Geddy" black squares.......... I might commit a felony!

WOW, what is that P bass? Stunning...!

I saw them talking about that on the Today Show. Lester said he was asked to sit in with a band that was recording a song or two for a TV show (I think?) and the band was made up of some other celebrities (I think?)

Here it is. No Rick, but everything else is true.

That is a good looking P bass.

Is that a '57 reissue?

This bass was discussed on the FDP a while ago. I am thinking of considering to ponder the possibility of wondering if just maybe, I might fathom whether my Cal. P Bass Special with it's GA pickguard could live with this finish. Paul? Dale?
