What kind of bass is this ?

Hi folks

I went to see Larry Carlton last night, with his son Travis holding down monster bottom end and soloing all over the place.

He was playing this bass - Some kind of super jazz 5 string - It sounded absolutely killer - Does anybody recognise it ?

Sadowsky 5 string

It's not a Sadowsky logo though, BB, the controls are more like an Alleva Coppollo (but it's not one of those either). Not much help there!

Nice ironic name for a jazz bass copy.
