What's this bass?? I'm Foxed!

I'm convinced it's a Gibson that I can't identify.  Looks like a Victory but the headstock is wrong - kind of Fender-like but more curly, like the Merle Travis guitar.  It's bugging me. Any ideas?

Very blurry, Ibanez Black Eagle?

It does look like the Black Eagle, maybe with the standard mishap to the headstock sort-of repaired hence the Fenderish blob at the end.

 

I thought a different video might be clearer but he's playing a different bass. No decent shot of it until 1:20, that's a 2+2 headstock, possibly a Gibson but I'm no expert.

 

 

According to Wikipedia, Gary Taylor was the bassist. There was also a Gary Taylor who was the bassist for The Herd and, in the late 70s, Gerry Rafferty, so that may be the same one.

oh that's it!  THat was quick. Cheers.  It was so blurry that I read the logo as Gibson but it's absolutely the Ibanez Black Eagle.  Right period too.

This is what a black eagle looks like in all of its fugly glory

 

 

Krist Novoselic had one that he got modified with a rosewood board

The only reason I recognised it is because I knew I'd seen him play one. I googled 'Krist Novoselic bass -gibson' and it was the second image.

Great bass tone! Good spot - it's clearer around the 3 minute mark
