Looks like a Vigier of some sort:

Geezer was using Vigier for a while.  I do remember that.

I've posted this somewhere before. Johnny Paycheck with his Teisco bass, about 50 years ago when he was still George Jones' bassist.

The Entwistle bass from the Relay video is indeed a Peter Cook instrument:

I couldn't find anything about the lightning bolt bass.

Cheers... missed that particular one... the Lightning Bolt is a known one and presently lies in the vaults at Hard Rock... the TRC is an opposite of mine, being WBW whereas mine is BWB sandwich...

My bad, as you say... I was posting stuff in the T'Bird thread and failed to hit copy for this...



Irritatingly, there is some great stuff with Schenker but he's (Way) using a P almost throughout that era... certainly was when I saw them...
