About 3:50 into that clip you can see the other bass pretty clearly.  Is that one of those old Modulus Graphite headless basses?

I think the other bass in this video is a late model Steinberger Synapse bass.  A own a couple of those old Modulus Flight Monocoque basses and the shape of the body and end of the neck are pretty distinctively shaped.  Also the Flight bass has regular bass tuners mounted on the body end, but this bass doesn't look like it has that.

I am confused, there seems to be a negative underlying tone here. Stan is the Man - he can play anything and make it groove (anyone ever hear him play with Keith Richards and Ronnie Wood in the New Barbarians?).  
 
What's the problem with P.E.?  
 
They are a well respected group, just because one of their front men decides to do a 'reality' tv shows does not take away from their legacy.

Perhaps I should add the English near equivalent of that Dutch saying: All work and no play make Jack a dull boy.

I was wondering Adriaan ;-).  The translation makes much more sense and you make a very good point. Getting up to play an unusual (for him) genre must be like a breath of fresh air to Stanley sometimes. I bet he gets fed up to the teeth playing School days all the time. In fact, when I saw him in london a couple of years ago he only played a couple of bars of Schooldays before launching into something else. Disappointing for me (and Jazzy and Mike) but Stanley was able to slot something different into his set.

Look when you are as famous as Stanley Clarke you can play what you want and I agree with jacko, I bet his Alembic can play 'School days' on it's own.
It's all about variety, try something different but but your own style into it..I once played in a ceilidh band and slapped a solo in it, the other guys were shocked as there regular bass player just played the usual lines..okay maybe not in context to the style but it was fun.
The world would be a boring place if there was no variety.

My live performances had never required the support of a onstage DJ.  
 
Maybe, that's what I'ved been missing for the past 40 years...  
 
 

hendixclarke..you should try it..it is no different than practicing to a drum machine, I did it once and it was fun, the DJ was very good at the mixing and scratching..I wouldn't do it all the time but as a one off it was, as I said fun and different.

Sounds like a lot of fun... I get it now.  
 
That was a very good point.
