Are there famous musicians that play this Precision Bass?

I know only Dusty Hill of Zz Top, Paul McGuigan (ex member) of Oasis, Lou Barlow of Dinosau Jr. and that pansy of Mike Dirnt of Green Day.

Oh man, I'm sorry; I didn't remember him. Here's a pic, forgive me

In fact, he made this bass quite famous and Fender did a signature model, MIJ. In the late '90s Fender reintroduced it with a reissue version and discontinued it again a few years later. In the first decade of 2000, Squier introduced the Mike Dirnt signature and in 2009 the Classic Vibe '50 Precision Bass, first in Lake Placid Blue finish, then in Butterscotch Blonde and this year in White Blonde.
