OutToPlayJazz Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 (edited) It looks like a more highly spec'd Epiphone Embassy V to me. Here's a better picture... Edited July 4, 2010 by OutToPlayJazz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyTravis Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 looks pretty custom, i'm not familiar with the headstock. Posh machineheads though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OutToPlayJazz Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 I was also thinking it could be from another of the Gibson group, like Kramer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MB1 Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 MB1. ...Me thinks its a Cellinder Bass! (think thats how you spell it?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shockwave Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 Closest i got to was a Sadowsky, similar headstock and string tree position, but wrong decal. Otherwise, something says to me Celinder, but not a current model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alien Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 The headstock makes me think late 70's/early 80's Schecter. A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hlampshade Posted July 4, 2010 Author Share Posted July 4, 2010 Thanks you very much for the help! Great suggestions but I don't think that we have hit the jackpot yet. I'm guessing that Trevor's bass is not vintage. I have seen videos and pics of him playing this same kind of bass with different colours in recent years. They look new and design is quite modern. I'm pretty sure that the bass is also made by some luthier or small boutique shop. "This is Gibson" clue is misleading. That's just the name of some branding and graphic design company. Here is recent video. Notice that top of the bass is flat and edges are sharp! That's quite rare in basses...
