I think the guy playing is Johnny Brown. If i am not mistaken he is the founder of BGF (Brown Guitar Factory). This company makes some nice guitars and basses like the one he is playing in the clip. His company does quite often install Kahler bass trems on basses. He also offers a neck with both a fretted and a fretless part of the neck.
Quite nawesome options if you ask me....
He also is the only manufacturer so far that I found who offers a piezo pickup option for Kahler bass trems. I have bought some piezo pickups for my Kahler from him.
If you guys are interested I can make some picktures and post them here for you!

Had some time to take some pictures.
Basicly it is a custom milled brass saddle insert, in this there is a (i think teflon encased) piezo saddle.
I know there are some people with skilled metal working connections, so i am quite sure if we can find the supplier of the teflon saddles we can make this cheaper ourselves!

I am pretty sure that the piezo pickups used are the graphtech piezo pickups manufactured for use in hipshot bridges.
