I don't care what bass that is!

I want to know who that girl is! "Very nice looking" is an understatement, Jeff!

The bass is either one of those 60s/70s MIJ hofner copies or one of those funny 60s leftover instruments from the old Italian Vox factory..
I love the Ampeg-like headstock.

It is an iconic picture no?

Silvertone (Sears), mid to late 1960s, built by Sekova in Japan.

I'd rather have the B15 she has it plugged into.

That or a Crucianelli-they made Voxes for a while. The scroll headstock looks like a Baldwin (Burns), but I've never seen one with a violin body.

I believe Todd nailed it - Silvertone.
