\what sort of bass....?

[squire5]

Can anybody identify the bass that this Walker Brother is playing? Looks sorta Fendery but the scratchplate is all wrong.

I bet AI could answer that if you input the photo and use the question you asked us as your prompt.

Looks like a Vox Symphonic Bass to me.

I found the body and neck of a Symphonic bass in a skip many years ago. Gave it to a repairer pal who fixed it up and sold it. I wonder if I should have kept it. Probably collectable by now. Love the photo - the good old days of miming to the record. No attempt to make it look live. No cables to the instruments and not a mic' in sight.
