He is the Jimmy Page of Bass players. And serious contender for the best album cover ever award ;) .
P.S. just in case, we never make fun of bass players, this is just a coincidence. Could have been double trombones or triple triangles, just saying

Not sure, looks like a Mandoline. I tried to google for more info, could not find any. Weird and wonderful :D

'Tis a thing of beauty...
Geddy Lee of Rush used to play the twin-necked Rickie 4080 giving him one bass plus a 12 string - always looked like he and Alex were over-equipped on stage when Alex had HIS twin neck and they were both fiddling with pedals - But our Tony seems to have two four-string basses - not sure what that would be for other than playing "Walk on the Wild side" live (and you'd still need 4 hands).
This guy below though - he got it going oooooooooooonnnnnn!

Mandolin with a sympathetic string
First of all one could think of it as a "Drone" instrument similar to a Sitar which also has a drone string along with the other strings. The instrument is definitely not played like a Mandolin. Second, music needs to be written or composed by a creative individual who wants a new and unique sound in the context of their own music. Third, the instrument does not need to be tuned like a mandolin however it works best tuned in 5ths at any pitch not just A440. The instrument can be easily played with a slide. Or it can be strummed or plucked with the right hand and the left hand is placed over the bass body to access different chord choices. Like a piano in that regard. In this configuration single notes are not preferable, however the right person with a creative mind and skilled practice can come up with a unique manner of playing it. Forth, it is used in solo instrumental breaks by itself, it was not purposed for playing with other instruments, it is totally a solo instrument. It's best to think of it as a small harp.
