I saw this photo recently and was wondering what bass John was playing. Its from his early career. Any help to settle my curiosity would be great.

It's a Mosrite, I think a '65 or so Ventures Model X. Most of the ones I've seen had a bridge pup as well, but I know there were some single pup versions.

Correct. Eastwood makes a nice copy.

Was this a test? Do I win a prize?
Umm...Thanks for the affirmation, but it wasn't a guess!

It the OX Tale video there is an early clip ('63 - '64) of John playing a Burns bass.
