Maybe? All the ones I googled have a pretty plain headstock, that headstock rings a bell, it's kinda like a weird Yamaha or Ibanez, maybe, but I swear I've seen it before.

There have been some Peavey strat copies with a similar headstock. Maybe it's a Peavey jazz bass copy, or maybe a frankenstein.

When you freeze a frame of video, things in motion can look distorted. Video is not a very high-resolution medium. If the headstock shape is throwing you for a loop (looks like a paisley shape) but everything else indicates it's ____ brand, that's probably what it is.
Rock & Roll is background music for teenagers to fuck to.

No, that's actually what it looks like. Big Fender/Kluson style tuners on the back, slabbish body, looks like a single humbucker at the bridge, but if so what's the pickguard for?

I know that bass ain't a Caparison, but that's what it dinged immediately.

Wow, can't believe I've stumped everyone.

The bass player is Eric Wood of Pillsbury Hardcore, Man is the Bastard, & Bastard Noise fame.
The Bass is a Robin Bass that was sold to him by Mike dean of CoC in 1988.
Sadly he no longer has it due to theft....

Just did a google image search to have a proper look at the bass and thought I'd post what I found:

Many thanks, I think I had incorrectly had it figured as a Yamaha of some kind :-[

Hemisaurus

It was a Robin Freedom bass, the basses were made in Japan by ESP according to Vintage Guitar.
