Which bass is this

Definitely a classic. I’m probably a bigger fan of Motörhead than The Damned but I might prefer this episode’s performance. I believe Paul Gray is often photographed with a Ric 4001/4003 but he’s holding a bass I cant identify here.
Edit - it might not be Paul Gray. Wiki shows he left in 1983 and the episode aired in 1984. I’m not sure when it would’ve been filmed. I’m not the biggest fan of The Damned, as I said.


Guild B-301 bass

I think it was a guy named Bryn Merrick, who was in the band ‘83-‘89, thus playing on the hits “Grimly Fiendish” and their cover of Love’s “Alone Again Or”.
