fender precision bass pickguard

What model do / that strange guitar Maniacs guitarist Rob Buck 10.000 used?
In about 1987 clips of the guitarist late 10000 Maniacs, Rob Buck, is playing a guitar that had never seen before. Not a bass, a guitar, but it looks like the real old Fender bass Precision from the early to mid 1950's – Back when the pick guard cover the upper horn and bass only had a single coil pickup. Anyway, this guitar, as I said, like one of these low precision of age, shaped like a start with a kicker that covered the upper horn, and bottom. It was also light green – almost white looking, sometimes – and had a humbucker in the neck and a single coil (one tablet of chromium, if I'm not mistaken) in the middle position. I would appreciate someone tell me the names of the guitar make and model, so to speak, if possible.
Sounds Fender Squier as a 51, maybe in a faded Olympic White colors. Please see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Squier_51 for more information and a representative picture. Sincerely, Dana
