I think most of the Fresh Cream album is the Fender Bass VI that the current Squier model is a copy of. Jack Bruce is using it in the bass register for the most part, but then he is Jack Bruce in a high-energy power trio format so there's a lot of notes coming out of him.
Another famous user is Robert Smith of The Cure. Here's concert clip where the idea of using it for parts above the conventional bass register is demonstrated, as there's already a bass player holding down the low end.
