What bass is John Paul Jones playing in the very beginning of this video (about 2 seconds in)?:

Could be an Ibanez.

Could be an Ibanez.

That's what I was thinking, but it doesn't look like the Ibanez logo on the headstock.

Are you sure? The logo looks like that's right. Do you have any idea what model? I really like the way it looks.

A somewhat recent article may have some clues.

Thanks dude! yeah, I don't think the bass is in there though. It only mentions a Fender Jazz, Alembic, and Gibson EB-1 from what I can see. Cool article though!

Thanks! Yeah, it looks like it's a lot higher quality than the Yamaha's I'm used to seeing lol
