Fender Bass V sighting

At least I’m pretty sure it is! I think this the first video I’ve seen of one being played.

Enjoying this thread:)
Jerry Reed's awesome.
Is his rythmn guitarist...did he break a string, or is he holding one of those old school clip on pickups in his strumming hand?
Interesting technique, if it is a pickup.

Nice also to see old Motown studio footage as well.

Emiliano Zapata is new to me, and I love it. They really dug CCR, eh? The tune's got a bit of Suzie Q, and Born on the Bayou to it.
Very cool.

MOAR bass v please:)

I am pretty sure it’s a mic held in the hand while one plays. It seems like a kinda crazy idea!
