Cool! What the heck is that guitar? Wish I could see the bass better. Love this song and Wuthering Heights still. Awesome she is having a second success for Running Up That Hill, thanks Stranger Things!

The font shrinking Gremlin gotcha' Michael! He does this trick to me all the time!


Maybe two Alembics... I see some kind of Triple Omega guitar in there too. My roommate was absolutely ga-ga over Kate in the late-80's. There were stacks of Beta video tapes in our apartment.

The bass looks like a short scale series bass, though i can't see clear enough if it's a I or II

Looks like a Series 1 to me.    Pause it at 1:12.   No master volume, no cvq's.

I'm with Michael; standard (symmetrical) body Series I.  At 1:12, I see a neck p/up, a hum-x, a selector on the upper treble bout, and 4 knobs.

Also, it has the "current" short-scale body style from the 1978 and later instruments, so most likely it's not from '77 or earlier.
