Black Keys bass--what is this?

Does anyone know what kind of bass is being played in this video? Thanks!

Can't get a good enough look.

They sure did a good job of cutting the bass player out of that video. Bummer.

looks like a Teisco or something similar

Older Japanese thing

They're really just the two guys, so that might be why.

Ahh. I guess that would explain it.

Loving those bassless bands. Not.

The band is the drummer and guitarist/singer. But they record with a full band. And have a touring backing band. Just the nature of pop music.

No, they do have bass in their songs. (And I actually really like the bass part of this particular song, too)

Some pretty awesome Sunn amplification making the scene there though!

99% sure this is it. A Harmony H-25

the newer records have bass, but the first ones didn't. Loved their sound back then. Now they just sound plain. I saw them about two years ago during their "Brothers" tour and they had a backline bassist. I think it was Nick Movshon, anyways he was playing a Mustang bass.

I concur. Freeze 2:37. Different bridge apparently.

I _think_ Double E has an idea of what bass this is.

I could use some more pictures as proof.

Yeah...the bridge was changed. But that stock bridge intrigues me, looks like a pretty cool mute system.

I wasn't gonna post a pic really, until I found that priceless collage of bass beauty!

Indeed, I noticed that too. Besides that, it is very similar though. Plus who knows, he could have just replaced the bridge. Maybe the original broke and he couldn't find an exact replica replacement.
