Can you identify this bass, please

Hello,

could someone tell me which bass guitar Trevor Horn is playing in this picture below, please? Photo is from year 2004.

Thanks!

I'm awful at these things but I gonna say G&L.

It looks like a more highly spec'd Epiphone Embassy V to me. Here's a better picture...

looks pretty custom, i'm not familiar with the headstock.

Posh machineheads though...

Would be reasonable to assume as the original image is from thisisgibson.com.

I did say I was no good at this.

I was also thinking it could be from another of the Gibson group, like Kramer.

MB1.
...Me thinks its a Cellinder Bass! (think thats how you spell it?)

[Shockwave]

Closest i got to was a Sadowsky, similar headstock and string tree position, but wrong decal.

Otherwise, something says to me Celinder, but not a current model.

The headstock makes me think late 70's/early 80's Schecter.

Thanks you very much for the help! Great suggestions but I don't think that we have hit the jackpot yet. I'm guessing that Trevor's bass is not vintage. I have seen videos and pics of him playing this same kind of bass with different colours in recent years. They look new and design is quite modern. I'm pretty sure that the bass is also made by some luthier or small boutique shop. "This is Gibson" clue is misleading. That's just the name of some branding and graphic design company. Here is recent video. Notice that top of the bass is flat and edges are sharp! That's quite rare in basses...

Sadly, so I can look cool if I get the answer and you don't, I've emailed his management company!
Did I type this out loud!

Bacchus do a headstock similar to that. And a body.
