It almost looks like a Deluxe Jazz with a funky body cut.

Looks to me like a Fender neck mounted on one of those weirdo, one-off brand Japanese basses from the 60's/70's
Looks like a custom ground-up build. The body has characteristics of a jazz but with an abbreviated lower horn of a jag. The pickups look like they were jazz bass inspired but positioned slightly closer to the neck and away from the bridge than a standard jazz.
Haven't really listened to Paramore, but that song was ok. The singer is pretty hot minus the goofy hair dye. She has a good voice, but not too good at writing lyrics. The music was good though.
Getting back on topic, I don't know what the hell he's playing. At first I thought it was a Jazz, but hte bridge is way too far up and the bottom horn is too short. Beats me

Different folks.... I like it, haha

Zactly.
I agree, it's definitely not a jaguar body. I simply meant that it has characteristics of a jag. Like Diogenes said, just look at the lower horn.
Coincidentally, does anyone think the bass looks good? I'm interested in finding out what it is, but man that is an ugly bass... To each his own, I suppose.
Personal tastes in aesthetics are funny. I get needled about my fondness for Russian, Korean and Tiawanese basses by people who like the looks of Lakland's Decade:
C'mon... really?
To me, it resembles the tiesco and other offbrand japanese makes of yesteryear. the control plate looks like a lakland DJ though

fenders blog says its a custom shop built by Dennis Galuzka
and its suppose to be a 62 american vintage jazz bass.
even though it does not look like that at all

I use to like paramore alot when they were not as big as they are now, the last show I saw of them was august 2007 at warped tour. I bought one of there shirts which now has 7 holes in it haha.
Jeremy davis usually use's Precision basses never saw him with one of these. Its almost looks like some old Japan Import or something.

I've seen em live, and they are just as good as on their albums. Hayley can really wail.
Noe, he played MIA Deluxe Jazzes for ever, and a few normal jazzes, but that thing is not one I've ever seen.

I read that too - but sure doesn't look like any AV 62 RI I've ever seen...not even close...
Before reading that, I'd still stick with off-brand 60's/70's Japanese bass

It almost looks like a Lakland Decade body with jazz pups, which are an option when ordering a USA Decade.
That was my thought until seeing the video linked above with the clip from fender talking about how it was custom shop. Maybe it's a Decade-inspired-custom-shop-hacked 62RI jazz. They do make some odd stuff for endorsing artists/those willing to pay for them (see Tye Zamoras 6 strings).
