Wow. 45-105 is considered "light gauge?" I wonder who makes these for them.
Probably can't fit in many cars!I thought my VP case was huge until another bass player walked in with a Warlock.

It's a rainy drippy New Year's Day here, a little fun by the fireplace to enjoy the day.
The nut on the RNR seems more "right".
I always wondered who built that bass. Even has a white fretboard.
Friggin’ love this club..

I've always loved that song! So 80s.....
Haven't seen that video in....probably since the 80s. Such pretty boys!
But these days...I don't know if I should be more jealous of the girl, or the band's hair
Thanks! Man I'm all in for it... our little recording project is coming along in burps and starts, but we're getting somewhere slowly.
My Google acct got hacked, finally found a little quiet time today to get that squared up and restored... so now I can use dropbox to pull files from and load into Waveform (TM) to record tracks for.
Kids are ok... some things are looking hopeful.
Best of everything to all of us, most especially to all of you...
Thanks, Andy. Doesn't surprise me to hear that he did yet another thing more properly.

Could be a Kramer - pretty rockin' with a white fb.
Same G-side scallop as I did on my Factorbird fretless - 
I like that better. Google translate only gave me "joo".Kyllä

The headstock isn't a perfect match (it was the 80s though
)... but it could be a Roscoe.Body & pickups look like some of their T-bird products, and Perry Richardson has a Roscoe he uses now w/Stryper, and used them at least back to '90 or so...
That's the best I've been able to find so far
...or it could be a prop for the video, since I've not seen him use it in any others...

I don't think it's a Rosco - after scanning some pics all I could find is this example of a T-bird'esk bass. Similar to the one you posted - but as you can see a non-pointy hs. Also, the hs lettering on the white bass is block letters, similar to Kramer. It does have a black something at the 12th fret. Too bad it's not clearer. A few companies did pointy hs's in the '80s - who knows?
Kyllä is the ”correct” word. Joo is more like yeah
