Zebra Wood Jazz Bass - Michael McDaid

[Nostromo]

Need a referee to sort out an argument here ! . . .

Its trivia time ! . . . .

Several of my mates here tonight are, over a beer or three, claiming they saw Michael McDaid (Paulo Nutini’s Bass player) on stage with a Fender Zebra Wood Jazz bass last year. The opposition say it isn’t a Fender at all . . . but don’t have a clue what it might be ? . . . . There is one guitarist here who doesn’t believe there is such a thing as a Zebra Wood Jazz bass ! !

Well here’s the picture:

Anyone know what this bass is ? . . . . . we are all just arguing about it ! . . . we should be out playing !

cheers all,

I thought it could be a Warmouth build, but then spotted [url="http://www.myspace.com/grooverandco/photos/8974634#%7B%22ImageId%22%3A8974634%7D"]this[/url]

Not heard of Esoteric Bass before though

It's unlikely it's Fender, with the nice top and the neck pickup looks like a double J or MM.

Having a bit of a search around online, I found this:



There's no logo on the headstock, so RR is probably right.

I would believe it's a Fender neck (or look alike clone of somekind) on a new or re-topped body.
