Gary US Bonds (he of Quarter To Three fame) with Jeff Beck at the Les Paul tribute at the Iridium 2010.

But what's that bass at the back?

Hi
The Bass player Is Al Gare (The Imelda May Band)
From what i can see from the headstock shape it looks like a Burns Jazz bass
didnt see enough of the body or scratchplates to be sure?

The more recent Marquee Bass, surely?

it may be a marquee bass jim , cant realy tell from the video
the original 60's jazz bass had the same type headstock?

Jay

The one in the video has a Marvin/Shadows Bass-style split scratchplate, whereas the Jazz Bass had a one-piece, and it also has a black truss rod cover on the white headstock, whereas the Jazz bass had the adjuster at the heel (like other quality Burns instruments of the time)!
