| | | | Why is it surprising that a good player gets good tone out of a cheap bass? I'm sure if Jimmy Page played my old Yamaha acoustic guitar, it would sound like a million bucks.

I'm just saying I couldn't see the headstock! Also looks like he lost some weight since that vid (or put on weight).
In any case, I found this info. http://www.myspace.com/claudiomachado & http://claudiomachado.com/  Looks like this one with a different pickguard.

When I was a kid, too long ago, cheap meant horrible fret work, junk woods, barely usable tuning machines, etc. My first ever guitar was a previously owned 1960's Japanese electric, and I paid $50 for it in about 1974, but hey, it came with a pressboard encased 3 or 4 watt solid state amp with a 6 inch speaker! I paid too much. Its amazing how good cheap instruments are nowadays. You can buy a used Squier any day of the week for around $100. They are great bargains, IMO. SX too, although I've never owned one.
