First off I did this really quickly in Paint (which I'm terrible at)and it was a memory from about 25 years ago. I know it's not very good...
That said, this was a bass my friend had in the 80's. I didn't play bass at the time and I have NO idea why I thought about it but now I want find out what it is...
It wasn't as squaty as I drew it. It was all black with red or orange "piping" all around the edges...
Any ideas? 
EDIT: Cdef knew it/ found it. He posted it in #30.

| | | Is it: 
(Hohner Jack Bass)
or 
Westone Quantum
?
No binding on these, but the shape looks similar. Maybe some versions had binding, who knows? |

It was an 80's "Heavy Metal" style bass.

Also could be Washburn... they had red-edged guitars about 1983 or so.
