What Kind of Bass?

I was looking for a new red outfit when I happened upon this. What kind of bass is it? No close-ups, but every angle is covered.

Second time I've seen this here. I'm still not convinced it's not Jim Carrey lugging the bass out...

I was so worried about the bass getting hurt, but not at all concerned for the girl twirling it with her feet. Does that make me a bad person?

oops....

Did a search. Didn't see it had already been posted. Jim Carrey. That's funny. Maybe it was one of the gigs he got while In Living Color was off season. I used to love that show.

kb9wyz,
No, it doesn't make you a bad person at all. The girl chose to do that. The poor bass is the one getting stepped on. If you look closely, it looks like the bass bit some ground in the past. There seem to be some repairs on it. Poor bass.

Not to be demeaning to anyone on this forum, but this is exactly why I won't bass surf, or do a number of any other Rockabilly moves with my bass.
