[British Beef]

[JeBuSrOcKs]

yeh he does play bass but sorry i am of no help at telling you what bass it is

[Linkinbassist]

Zon Headstock, amirite?

...Might be a custom job.

[d-basser]

looks like a Zon neck on a fender body, weird

looks nice tho

[ebe9]

The headstock reminds me of a semi-hollow yamaha I say at the local store

[Worrpigs]

whats with all the celebritys all the sudden and their music hobbies being all public?

[d-basser]

the head actually looks a little like some of the old ibanezs

[Sergio]

Haha, his band Dogstar(amirite?) have been around for ages, they played Glastonbury or something in the 90's and actually hick-hiked there.

The bass looks horrible in my opinion, doesn't suit my tastes, but yeah, looks like a Zon neck on a Fender body.

However, it also looks like it could be a no name 70's bass. Just a thought

[Skit]

Heres a bigger pic:

The headstock is very zon like but the body... Some frankenstein bass he put together maybe?

[the101er]

It looks like the headstock says Conklin, but I'm not sure

[Jody LeCompte]

Danelectro?

[Linkinbassist]

It says something on the headstock, but i can't make it out...

[shadow316]

Well here's his most recent rig:

http://www.keanuvision.com/archives/001761.html

[muthafunkabass]

I think it says "Carl Thompson".

[JBass]

that site says its a custom

[Akira]

that site says its a custom
That's also a different bass from in the original pic.

[BassVirtuoso]

Man, that has to be from his Bill and Ted days.

[Akira]

Man, that has to be from his Bill and Ted days.
Well Dogstar was in the 90's, and the first Bill and Ted was like '89 I think? So about there.

[Storm In A Teacup]

What kind of band is he in?

[Akira]

What kind of band is he in?
The website the person posted said grunge I think.

[Esp Griffyn]

Im sure I read somewhere that its a Fender

[Led_Zeppelin678]

This doesn't help, but he has one of the Yamaha Billy Sheehan Hollow-Body basses. Sheehan gave it to him, signed it, and gave him a free lesson.

[Tryxx]

Dan Ramson, apparently. http://www.mindspring.com/~mellowtone/basspage.html

[Killer Fridge]

I think it says "Carl Thompson".

well, youre wrong, unless thompson is fit in an incredibly small space, and he got bored one day and made that

[AlmightyPancake]

Dogstar is one of the worst bands ever...


EVER....

[sanray]

Dogstar is one of the worst bands ever...


EVER....


a very deliberate conclusion, and cake please..

[sixner]

kind looks like an old BC Rich headstock or Zon...

Dan Ramson, apparently. http://www.mindspring.com/~mellowtone/basspage.html
These days, his basses are custom made by Dan Ransom of Ransom Guitars in San Fransisco.
yeah

[gaslight]

Haha I wonder what he's like at bass/what his band is like.

"Yeah man, we were gonna make it, then our bassist became an actor. He's Keanu Reaves now."
"Sure buddy, whatever you say."

[sheephead]

You mean Keanu and Dustin Diamond? It's long been public.

http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a387/ajd4567/hulkhoganbass.jpg

Hulk Hogan plays bass?! That's just awesome.

[Jody LeCompte]

Reckon he's any good?

[Left Shoe]

well he could kill you if you said otherwise

[bassist-bmxer]

That bass neck is gonna snap in half!

[Jody LeCompte]

well he could kill you if you said otherwise
This is true. But I still wonder.

[d-basser]

Isaac Newton played upright

so with a huge leap of imagination...all bassist are geniuses

[ChimPz]

This is true. But I still wonder.
I just wonder if he can play an entire set without hitting someone over the head with the bass. Being a long piece of wood, the neck is similar to one the tools of the trade amongst wrestlers.
The body? It'll increase impact.

[sr800bkBassist]

whats with all the celebritys all the sudden and their music hobbies being all public?
he's been at it since the early nineties.

[Chris K]

Im sure I read somewhere that its a Fender

I would have guessed it was a custom made Fender, since Guitarist magazine listed him as playing "Fender custom basses".

[sr800bkBassist]

I would have guessed it was a custom made Fender, since Guitarist magazine listed him as playing "Fender custom basses".
yeah he used some yellow P-Bass around like '94 i think. Kim from Sonic Youth borrowed it for some of their videos.

and yes, rumors are true, his band suckedddd.

[Naveed Afzal]

I once heard creative bassist have alot more brain activity then creativity guitarist....:chug:

[peeted]

richard hamelton allso plays bass. bass truley is teh instrument of gods. i bet if mr.t, shaft, monkey, optimus prime or dennis rodman played instruments they would all play bass. posibly chuck norris too.

well, bassists are the coolest :cool: dudes on the planet, so it wouldn't surprise me

[The_Red_Death]

I read somewhere that Jude Law plays bass. Playing bass and ****ing the nanny he hired... Man, that's the pinnacle of cool right there. :cool:

[Linkinbassist]

well, bassists are the coolest :cool: dudes on the planet, so it wouldn't surprise me

true...

[Tryxx]

For the record: Isaac Newton is also believed to be the oldest recorded virgin at 85 years old. Bassists NEVER got groupies. :(

[Manticore Guy]

Owwch

[sr800bkBassist]

that's because bassists are usually fat and have silly faces.

that guy behind him almost looks like Vinnie Paul Abbot, but im sure it cant be

[AlmightyPancake]

a very deliberate conclusion, and cake please..
Very well... give him cake!

[Guinpen]

wasn't the pope older than 85?


also, woo at that hogan picture. it explains a lot. he was at the sam ash near me and i was wondering why

[MasterofBass]

Well here's his most recent rig:

http://www.keanuvision.com/archives/001761.html


well, you can tell that whoever wrote that probably never touched a bass before.


but yeah, anybody know if keanu's any good on bass at all?? and on that subject, it was him playing guitar on bill and ted (well, at the end of bogus journey after their "intense guitar training" at least) if so he may be decent... and i'd like to hear hogan play too

[Jaded]

Old Ibanez, maybe.

[Az_Holl]

Actually Steve Vai plays that, Bill and Ted just pretend.

[herrly]

Ted, while I agree that, in time, our band will be most triumphant. The truth is, Wyld Stallyns will never be a super band until we have Eddie Van Halen on guitar.

Yes, Bill. But, I do not believe we will get Eddie Van Halen until we have a triumphant video.

Ted, it's pointless to have a triumphant video before we even have decent instruments.

Well, how can we have decent instruments when we don't really even know how to play?

That is why we NEED Eddie Van Halen!

And THAT is why we need a triumphant video.

EXCELLENT!

Hahahahahahaha, man I love Bill and Ted.

[martin_sane]

Hulk Hogan plays bass?! That's just awesome.


I saw a documentary a while ago about him and he's pretty into music. He's a very good piano player. (i cant make the o in documentary look normal for some reason, it insists on making me look like an idiot)

[Akira]

For the record: Isaac Newton is also believed to be the oldest recorded virgin at 85 years old. Bassists NEVER got groupies. :(
He just should have busted out some guitar flips. Works every time. :p
What the heck is up with changing the o to 0 in documentary?

[chrishi87]

If Hogan press more the neck will be breaking for sure...even a 6 String would fit into his hand like a 4 String to "normal" bass players....

THE ****ING HULK PLAYS BASS!!!!!!

zomg!!!

[d-basser]

^ how uber skinny does that bass neck look in hogans spade like hands!!!!

[tomtom]

^ how uber skinny does that bass neck look in hogans spade like hands!!!!
well, i think because of the lighting half the neck is shadowed, but even without the shadow it would look really thin

[burtonbassist_101]

i'd like to hear hulk hugan play bass...

and i've known that keanu is in a band for a while now, i just didn't know he played bass

[martin_sane]

He just should have busted out some guitar flips. Works every time. :p
What the heck is up with changing the o to 0 in d0cumentary?


It's a consipiracy.

[BassVirtuoso]

Wow, I would think he was playing a strat if it weren't for the tuning pegs.

[HaVIC5]

Hulk Hogan really is the TRUE American hero. I mean, just look at him.

[Chris K]

He's orange!

[bottlerocket]

[Jamie]

I thought it was an Ibanez Musician at first:

But it must have been heavily modified to be one! So there's them out of the question!
