Wish it could be seen better in the pic.  Never saw him playing it.  It'd be interesting to know more!

A friend of mine has a relative that works in the memrobilia department at Hard Rock.  I have already requested detailed pics.  I hope she can come through for us.  This looks like a good one!  From that side pic, it looks like it has a scroll, brass control plate, and clear pickups.  Check out those inlays!

Now that I've stared at it for a while, I'm not sure about the bridge.
 
The electronics look like a set of Series I with a volume control.  I'm guessing sometime between 1970 and 1974.

Looks like the electronics that I have on my 1972 bass.  I see front mounted volume controls and a stereo/mono switch.  I really like this setup a lot.
