The bass in The Metro yesterday - Monday 5th Jan

In yesterdays Metro (freebie 'news'paper given out in that London) there were some pics from the Sony Photo Exhibition. One of them was a bassist, but I've not seen the bass before. From the bridge unit it looked to be headless and seemed to have 2 different style HB's next to each other.

Did anyone else see it?

Ahh! nice one :)
What's going on with the one in the Metro though? Like I said, with a differing HB or maybe a ramp?

Am I picky or what?[/quote]

nah I agree. The way model didn't have their hands on the bass said non-bassist. If you know what I mean.

I've pondered on this for a while now. Sorry, I can't work out how to put the pic up here.

I'm sure previous consensus was that it's a [url="http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p312/JERMDADDY/tobias/tobiasswampashgrowler5001.jpg"]Tobias Growler[/url].

Thanks for that! I kind of had it in mind it might be a Toby of some flavour but I'm not all that familiar with 'em.
I just thinks it's nice they didn't just go for a generic guitar like a Les Paul or Strat...
