A bit of history:
The Byrds taped a few tunes for a TV show, and Chris Hillman played a strange bass that has always intrigued me: P-Bass body with a maple neck with 2X2 headstock and what appears to be a Fender decal.

I had a Squire P-Bass Special, replaced the neck with one I just received from Warmoth, added some Hipshot tuners, a bridge cover, and "Flyer" decal. I dig it.

That looks cool.

I wonder what the story behind that Byrds bass is.

Poking around online, I found this quote supposedly from Chris. Unfortunately it doesn't explain anything about the history of this bass, so we may never really know.

"I get asked asked this question quite a lot. I borrowed that Bass from somebody for that taping and I used it for that T.V. show and never saw it again. Whoever owned the Bass must have had it customized in some weird way..."
