Oh, no. Tremendous loss, such genius!
Not just a bass, this is an Alembic!

Yes, that's all one pass of guitar.  And he would ad lib similarly beautiful and complex pieces each night as an intro to his ballad "Home". 
He was a one-off and will be missed.

An update - there was a crowdfunding effort asking for $20,000 to cover the funeral costs etc. - they ended up raising over $114,000!
