What Snarky bass is Michael playing?

[Grahambythesea]

So there’s a new album out with Snarky Puppy teaming up with the Metropole Orkest. So anyone like to identify the semi that Michael is using on this mega performance which I believe involves 74 musicians.

@ around 3.16 I got this screen shot. No idea of the brand.

Here is the best readable brand name I can get, but it doesn't ring a bell...

I did cheat a bit with the headshot, it’s a nik Huber

Thanks everyone. Your sleuthing is amazing. Really interesting bass, about time a luthier recognised League and gave him a signature bass, but out of most of our league ( pardon the pun) price wise.

Did you not see the infested P bass?

Is this an advert for the headphones they are all wearing? (albeit there a small number of the orchestra with non-compliant ear gear!)

PS I think the music is great!

Yes

As a bass player, I do have a weakness for their (bespoke??) PRS guitars though! (possibly because our guitarist plays one)

Apparently it's actually a Harley Benton, he just changed the headstock logo.

Yes. I’ve heard his story about it & the bass sounds good. I won’t be encouraging anobium punctatum to infest any of mine!
