Did Peter play this Fender Bass VI at other live or studio tracks?

I believe Green played the Fender Bass VI on "Before the Beginning" studio track (the middle section).

John Entwistle played a Fender Bass VI at one time, as did Jack Bruce. The Beatles used it a lot during Get Back/Let It Be and Abbey Road albums. This instrument was made for surf groups like the Ventures that wanted that plucky bass tone. Fender stopped making the instrument in 1975. However, Fender brought it back in 2006 as part of their custom shop catalog. They cost over $3000.
