For legal reasons, the bassist character was fictional but, she used what I guess was a 4001v63 (which obviously would be incorrect for the time) or maybe a real RM? Dunno but the bass is more prominent than the character in the film.

I wonder why the bassist in the movie couldn't portray Jackie Fox?

I thought Jackie played a p-bass.

She did and an old T-Bird also.

Jackie wouldn't give permission. There's an article about it on Yahoo. Sorry for not being able to post the link.

Jackie did play a White 4001. Here's a TINY photo of her...

Here's the link that explains why Jackie is not in the movie: http://movies.yahoo.com/news/movies.reu ... rs-reuters

A friend of mine from Delta High School here in Hamilton directed this film...

I did theatre productions with her sister. She later also directed a pile of music videos for folks like The Cure and David Bowie.
