Prior to joining The Ramones, C.J. played an early ’70s Fender Jazz Bass and always played with his fingers (he actually explained in a 2015 interview with Fender that on his way to first meet the band, he had to stop at a music store and buy picks in order to play like Dee Dee did before him). When he joined the Ramones, they gave him a black Mexican Fender Precision Bass, with a white pickguard and a maple neck and that was his main bass for the first gigs with the Ramones. He also had two cream Fender Precision basses, one with a white pickguard and another with a black. (These basses can be seen on various backstage photos.) He then bought a white American Fender Precision with a white pickguard (later switched to a black to make it look more like Dee Dee’s bass guitars). Then he finally got a vintage 1979 Fender Precision, like the basses that Dee Dee used to play. He would use that bass mainly the rest of his time with the Ramones.

Ward replaced original band member Dee Dee Ramone, though Dee Dee continued to write songs for the group. C.J. went to the audition with the sole purpose of jamming with the Ramones; he was not “nervous or intimidated” as he had no intention of getting the part but much to his surprise, he did. After being discharged from the Marines and learning 40 Ramones songs in 5 weeks, C.J. played his first live show with the band on September 30, 1989. Adjusting to the Ramones’ play style was one of the biggest challenges he had as C.J. was originally a finger-playing bassist as opposed to Dee Dee’s signature downpicking technique. He eventually learned to adapt by lowering his bass down to his kneecap and wearing sweatbands.
