AFAIK, Peavey didn't do a fiver in the T series, and their pickups were series/parallel humbuckers.
It does resemble the original Peaveys, but it's a fiver (4 in-line/1 offset opposite side).

Jolly's comment about the "P Diddy musician contest" set off my radar...
Walter Barnes Jr. was the contestant on "Making His Band", and he's gigged with Brian McKnight, Lalah Hathaway (Donny's daughter), Christina Aguilera, Toni Braxton...
Long story short, this guy's legit. Absolutely no joke on bass. A TC Electronics endorsee.
However, Walter is a lefty.

I think the backing vocals were lip synced. There's certain times where the microphones are nowhere near their mouths and yet they can still be heard.
Bruno Mars is a surprisingly gifted performer, though. Last year's Super Bowl Half-Time Show proved that to me.

Hell yeah that bass tone is sick! I could be biased since I grew up on the Minneapolis sound but I love it.

Yea, that is him. I just wondered what type of rig he was running through on that SNl performance. It is freakin sick with depth. Also, he kicked ass a couple of years ago when he was playing bass for Bruno at the Superbowl Halftime Show.

He could very well be using that 5 string just because of the neck. Just because he's a P guy doesn't mean he couldn't change it up for some reason or another. And if he does prefer pbasses it's not outside the realm of possibility that he's simply using a 5 string jazz because the 4 string necks aren't substantial enough.

Jamereo Artis might be onstage here, but as we've seen over the years on SNL, they tend to do less actual playing and more lip-sync, especially with pop stars like Bruno Mars.
Lots of choreography makes singing on-key difficult. Not a hair out of place here... it sounds exactly like the track, note for note.
My money's on Marcus on the studio track. The sound is consistent with a slapped J with some hot-rod pickups and a fat preamp.

I'm pretty impressed by Bruno's showmanship. That being said, he definitely has some great musicians behind him to make it all possible.

Didn't you link the Wikipedia page that said he was the bass player for the studio version?
