While skipping around You Tube for the song "Woo Hoo" (originally by the Rock-A-Teens, ca. 1959, but covered by the all-woman band The 5,6,7,8,'s in Kill Bill Vol. 1 ... which was on TV recently, thus the interest in the song .. oh, and it was used by a phone company, maybe Vonage, in a TV commercial, too), I came across this video (in German, no less), "Kottan's Kapelle - Woo-Hoo":

Although we don't see a close-up of the bass and bass player, this screen shot shows the head stock ... the tuners are too close to the end to be regular 4003S.

Original song by Rock-A-Teens:

The 5.6.7.8.'s in Kill Bill Vol. 1 (but It may be a montage, not exactly as it appears in the film).

Aired 15 Nov 1984. In the first shot i think i see triangle inlays. Could it be a 4008?

And which year(s) of manufacture, since 8-stringers have had two headstocks: 1) the potato; and 2) elongated 4003?
