Anyone know what bass this is? Looks kinda like a black P bass but it has an light fretboard.

Thanks!

Well, it's a Precision style bass with a maple fretboard. Could be genuine Fender, or a custom build by the owner. I believe there's a Fender Roger Waters (??) signature P bass that has that same look, but would need to see close up pics to tell for sure. The P I'm thinking of has a black body, black pick guard and maple FB.
Check out eBay or the fender site to see it.
I'm a newbie on this forum too but, welcome!

The neck is Hard Rock White Maple. A Fender classic. Could be a clone. Can't tell without a closer examination of the headstock. Body could be anything. Unable to tell because it is obscured. Twin Hatbox Knobs aren't stock Fender.

That photo looks to be from like 1985...and I'm pretty sure that Fender started making the Roger Waters basses quite a few years after that.
Have you tried to google "Duff McKagan bass" for more pics? I did and found this, which looks like at least a Yamaha BB bass body. Now I do not know if these basses are the same as the one in your pic, but I think this is prior to GnR being signed, and poor struggling musicians are not gonna have alot of different basses. Maybe I am wrong?
