Not my favourite track - but what is that bass? Is it a Ibby Musician? Pickups looks wrong....

I may be able to find out (a friend used to play with him in JM's band) but I'd guess its a custom neck on a Jbass, with DiMarzio J's. Always sounded like there's a coating on the fingerboard......

If I had to guess who "Paul" might be I'd suggest luthier Paul Herman - guitar maker to the stars (well some of them) and the man behind the promised second coming of Wal.

PS. And yes Alan Thompson is a great player. Saw him many times playing that bass in JM's band. Last I heard he was playing a Gougi - www.gougi.com/fr/atelier/ed/basse/index.html
