What bass is this?

Fender Coronado basses and guitars featured that weird dye injected wood that showed up as different colors in the instruments. They were green or blue streaked wood bodies that were very strange.
I like the song too. Good old 69 top 40 tune.

Fender reissued it a decade or so ago as part of their modern player series, if you’re looking to pick one up w/o vintage Fender prices.

I think it was called "Wildwood" as I recall....

I can't figure out what it is and can't find any better pics/footage.

Did the bass player moonlight as a State Trooper?

He certainly had the mandatory stache for it.

That foot-work is... amazing.

I don't think that band is performing live.

Oh come on. Obviously this is a very early or possibly the very first use of a one of those polyphonic harmonizer pedal thingies for that sax.

The Bass Shop has a 1967 Coronado II in stock now.

The price of those has spiralled! I had a red reissue for a while. It had a centre block and Filtertron-style pickups, whereas the originals had Dearmond pickups and were totally hollow. I think they had plastic bridge saddles as well.

Obvious kinship with Chicago I and II (Guercio).
