Looks to me like a 'London' Maggini. Looks more like a Fendt to me, sorry.

Lightbulb off topic..

And, if you blow up this pic, you will see just how English this is. Very Fendt/Lott/British-like and similar to my Hart with a circular emblem under the Button. So NOT Italian much less Maggini.

Why is the bridge, on that bass being played by the guy with the red jersey, not lined up with the Vs in the f holes?

Possibly to reduce the string length? Perhaps we should create a new thread.
