I was referring to the bass you saw when it was owned by Irv Manning-it was pretty well known among the "Condon gang".

I would love to ID this bass as well;


There are several other pics of the bass being played by the owner but without permission, I am not comfortable posting his personal likeness as well as the other musicians with him.
