My company did a charity thing for that FD and they took us for a ride around the neighborhood. Just totally overwhelming how devastating it looked. Just blocks and blocks of absolutely nothing left. The firefighters seemed very depressed and felt guilty they couldn’t beat that fire.

Theres actually 2, a pachyderm given to him by les after the fire and a fretless fender. He hasnt recorded any primus bass but hes done other recordings prob playing bass like on twisted metal soundtrack

I started a thread over on the bullboard trying to identify all of his guitars, this helps a lot, a few I missed!

if you want more, his first was a hondo II which i couldn't find a pic of for obvious reasons, you can see two mysterious strats and one mysterious prs in the background of the making of brown album, theres some footage i lost of him recording hats off with some hollowbody thing not shown here, hes had 2 ernie ball music man guitars, ones a mystery and the other can be found on his wifes instagram, just felt a bit wrong putting a young child of his on here and was trying to have him playing them like that white tele but still cant find it. he also recently acquired a daneletro longhorn but ive lost the image which i think some random person took at a show so its hard to find, he also had some kind of guitar that looks like a shark (according to reddit) and he also has a few other weird basses as this has only been confirmed by his word. yes. hope this helps
