A better pic and additional info could help.

 

[AltGrendel]

Sorry, no idea.

I think you're going to need a better picture than that.

 

[Lammchop93]

who's the guy? Maybe we can search him and find a better pic with the same bass.

 

[bass player !!]

his name is gavin shoesmith and he's from the john butler trio the video that the still is from is this i know its a bad pic but literally i had to do a print screen job.

 

[Lammchop93]

Here is a slighlty better still I got for you. I have no idea what it is though.

 

[bass player !!]

[kiripunk]

I re-open the thread since I would be interested in knowing the brand too, sounds great

Here's another video with the same bass in it.

John Butler Trio - Take - YouTube

is that a fender musicmaster?

 

[kiripunk]

well I don't think so. Unless he cut the body and changed the neck ;-)

Gavin Shoesmith has a Myspace page for his current band, The Groovesmiths, so why not ask him outright?

looks sorta' guild-ovation-electra-westone- ish...

..but not really...

Maybe it's one of these old Meazzi basses from Italy or a Japanese knock-off of same. It looks fairly beat up, so it may have gone through some changes.

Yeah, could be. I'm Italian but I never looked for Meazzi Instruments!

 

[dominic]

looks like it could be a maton but its just a guess

 

[GM60466]

I say its a "parts" bass

 

[kiripunk]

looks like it could be a maton but its just a guess

Maton? John Butler uses Maton so it could be but to me it's more like a Meazzi Master Bass Customized!
