Well,it is a lipsynch,with the wrong guitarist,too. Is this not the infamous 21- fretter?

Yep, the 21 Fretter, same one as pictured in The Yes Album gatefold and Fragile booklet. I had an amusing conversation with Chris about this bass a few years ago after it "surfaced" in the U.K. I asked him if it was The Yes Album bass and he replied "Yes" to which I replied "The 21 fretter" - Chris then said "I don't know how many frets it has..."

Speaking for self-experience.. I spent many years without knowing how many frets are on a bass.I became aware of that number "21" exactly because of this subject... But, if you ask "is that the bass that goes up to E natural on the G string?" I guess Chris will answer promptly

Good point,Miguel!
