Could be a fretless? He used to favour an electric upright or his fretless Precision during their acoustic sets when not playing an acoustic guitar or mandolin. The pic is from Australia 1972.

Cool. Never saw that one. I was only aware of his fretless P Bass.

Mixed feelings on this one... very unusual neck joint...
