[quote name='derrenleepoole' post='808054' date='Apr 16 2010, 05:52 PM']Is he Australian? If so, perhaps it's an Australian luthier bass of some description?[/quote] Yes he is......you may well be right. I know of 1 or 2 over here in WA.....will have to have a search on the net. Thanks.

Thanks for the magic Crazy. Thanks all for your your thoughts and replies. Glad Im not totally dumb for not recognising an obvious bass! Also glad it was a new discovery for some of you. Excellent band....they are in their 3rd line up now (Shoesmith was their 1st bassist) but I particularly like the style on this track. He plays a pretty simple line but it just sounds so good. Hmmm....so that bass. I am sure I have seen the headstock design before but just cant think what it was on. Maybe a custom as suggested. Any more ideas?????

Can anyone please tell me what bass Gavin Shoesmith is playing on the "Betterman" track when he was with the John Butler Trio? Best place to see it is on you tube (search for "Betterman 2001 HD"). Its probably very obvious but I just cant pick it. Thanks!!
