Apparently this was D. D. Verni of Overkill's bass
I don't know if it was used live or on any recordings, I've only seen him use is BC Rich Widow basses and his modded Rickenbacker earlier in his career. By far one of my favorite metal bands and D.D. is one of my favorite metal bass players aswell. His tone is always great and he locks in with the drummer amazingly.
Me and my girlfriend saw them recently with Warbringer and Kreator. They killed it! We were right up front and at the end of the set, Bobby passed her a setlist and shook her hand. She got a pick aswell. Was a great night, next morning not so much, neck was pretty sore haha.

Cool, note the combination of detuner and kahler. Wonder how he used the combination of those two devices...

Maybe he couldn't get them to work and that's why he got rid of the bass haha.

haha detuner AND kahler = no way.
tune your strings up, drop the E to D and watch the others follow in the out-of-tune-ness...lol
my only gripe about on the fly drop the E to D. thats why I tune normal to DGCF
