Paychecks bass?

[Stjofön Big]

Really like Johhny Paycheck, but what bass is he using? Baldwin, I read, Teisco too. But what bass is it? And has anyone here tried one out?

Isn't that the "Flea" bass?

That's a Teisco bass.  I've seen a couple on eBay over the years.

Here's one on eBay now.  Very sharp looking:  http://www.ebay.com/itm/Teisco-NB-1-Bass-guitar-Del-Ray-made-in-Japan-/300780844126?pt=Guitar&hash=item4607ef745e

That's pretty well accepted, but they did have their own period sound. Sometimes it's fun!
