Is this some type of Gibson Bass?

    Was browsing through the Manic Street Preachers, where incidentally Nicky Wire gets some praise for his bass playing from Tony Visconti (now there's a first) when I came across this picture of him with a bass which looks like some Gibson type thing.

    Intrigued to know if anyone out there can enlighten me.

    (first time I've tried posting a pic so hope it works OK)

    Thanks Charlie.

    Any idea on how this thing plays/sounds?

    Or is it just for posing.

    i've never played it, but di pinto really comes to mind, the belvedere. it also looks lie the single cutaway ESP hollowbody, which i have played, and its ok...not great, but it does have that hollowbody sound. probably a good bass, i wouldn't pay more than $300 for it though...
