Can anyone identify this bass?

This bass is for sale local to me:



The seller is unable to identify the maker. I've asked for more detailed pictures, but in the meantime, can anyone provide any additional information based on this admittedly less-than-ideal picture?

Hmm...I really don't think that duvet cover ties the headboard and carpet together at all. What do you think, OLDGUY?

More photos will probably be necessary to id. Show us the peg-box and the button. And maybe a side view.

Is there a label on the inside?

I suspected as much. I have asked the seller for additional pictures.

Looks laminated.

Fingerboard is probably ebony.

The pickup appears to be a *David Gage Realist*.

The machines might be those cheaper Chinese types, but it's hard to tell since we don't get a side shot.
