Spot on! I too was flipping channels and only had it on long enough to see that the bassist was indeed playing an Alembic. No logo on the peg head, but bird tailpiece in place. Good catch!

Come on Rich... admit it. You have An Officer and a Gentleman on VHS, Beta, DVD, and Blue Ray.

No logo, bird tail-piece - could be a Kawai copy.

I thought this might be an Alembic being played in BB's band.....

Craig; I don't think so. The best shot appears at 5:12, and the lower horn and cutaway don't look right. Jeff lays down some nice licks!
