In this video, Laura Lee's violin bass is introduced at 21:12. She says she doesn't know what kind of bass this is, but observing the sharply shaped pegs on this bass, and the triangular shaped truss rod cover, it appears to be a Greco violin bass. As for the knobs, they are not shaped like the original Höfner violin basses, which may have been replaced by modifications made by Mark Speer, as she discusses in this video. She says in the video that she uses this bass as a backup for gigs etc.
