The spacing is 3/4" at the bridge ---- the nut on mine measures 10mm from center to center of the strings.

Is "Prototype" the brand, or what is the brand? Where are they made, and if it's a prototype of a production model, what is the production model called?

The maker of this bass is Al's Music Source a shop in Cali whom is building basses like this and others. These are first run limited production line of basses that play well. It's a Jazz bass copy kinda like a Marcus miller type not exactaly though.
