Hi,
Any fans of Paul Simon and Bakithi Kumalo will probably know that Bakithi is back touring with Paul for his new album. I saw a performance on BBC2 the other week and for a couple of the songs Bakithi was playing a single-cut fretless that I've never seen him play before and don't know enough to identify it. I know he's been an endorsee/endorser for Washburn and Lakland recently but it's pretty unlikely it's made by either of those. It has the most beautiful tone (although that might just be his fingers because I don't think the bass he played on graceland was anything too amazing and its probably my favourite fretless tone) and it looks great too.
Here's some youtube clips of it

and I just saw he's got a fretted one too, with a different top wood

If anybody can identify the brand (and models, while you're at it
) I'd be grateful. Thanks.
