Sam,
no this is the V-head Spyder that John did not use that much as the other two conehead Spyders.
The Hard Rock Spyder that was in Berlin was formerly Johns main stage bass and was used mainly until the Live Aid concert where it failed. And as John said in his book: It is somewhere in a HRC. I had sold it as its punishment for failing at the Live Aid gig.
The second Spyder he used after he had sold the first one to the Hard Rock was his formerly spare bass. The two conehead Spyders are easily recognizeable due to its different pick-up spacing.
