For the very brief and rather unclear glimpse I see of the headstock logo, I'm thinking an Aria Pro.

I was checking this out a long time ago in another video...
Are you ready for a surprise?????????
Its a ROLAND bass, which apparently was a cooperation between Roland and Ibanez so this is actually an Ibanez musician with Roland synth electronics.

You hit the nail on the head... I had never heard of this bass before. Just when I thought I had seen it all...

That's rather cool. I did a quick Google search for more info and found there's a guy north of Kansas City that has/had one for sale on CraigsList.com... $450.

Cool video!

Slightly off topic here, but when did Captain Jack Sparrow start playing guitar in Stevie's band?

Excellent, my man!

What an awesome video - Nate sounds great, and I actually enjoyed the few flams and bum notes from the horn section. And speaking of the esteemed Mr. Watts, can you imagine being handed some of the lines that Stevie Wonder wrote? This one is likely the most famous, but still....I wonder if he ever exclaimed, "You want me to play....WHAT?!?"

Sorry for the tangent. Cool info on that bass, and thanks again for the video link.
