Bass Spotting - Name That Bass

My son was watching High School Musical 3 this morning (don't ask !) and I spotted this bass but couldn't identify it:

at 1 min 46 secs.
It appears to have Les Paul style controls, a double cutaway body, a bound body and fretboard but I can't make out the logo / name on the headstock. My first guess was an Epiphone due to the Les Paul similarites and Headstock shape but I can't find any Epi's that look like this one. Any ideas (other than getting my boy to watch something else)?

Cheers.

Thanks, that looks like it. Here's a You Tube review (in German):

It's quite a handsome bass and for only £255 from these guys [url="http://www.promenademusic.co.uk/Washburn-WB66"]http://www.promenade...k/Washburn-WB66[/url] probably quite a good candidate for buying and upgrading the pickups and electrics, although the bass in the German review doesn't sound too bad with its stock pickups and passive tone control.

Not that I know a lot on this. . . . . But seen as Washburn made a Miley Cyrus (whatever her character was called) signature, who's a Disney "star" of whom made the HSM saga, I'd say it's the bass in the video above. "Washburn Idol"???

Wonder what it is between Washburn and Disney? 0_o
