The bass he's playing does indeed look like an Aria.

He told me that Squier was on quite a few recordings. He also recalls using Custom 'Trucker' amps at some point and it could be one of theirs, though I am not certain. He was given stuff to use and didn't rake too much notice what it was.
Sadly I haven't seen Alan for six months as he has been forced into retirement after surrendering his drivers licence due to his glaucoma.

I love that. Some of us are desperate to get the “right” gear. Not Hank, he uses what they put on the stage. And ditches the Vox completely when they keep failing.
Ditto Alan Jones. That’s not a Fender bass. Doesn’t matter.
