Details

I purchased this bass from Guitar Center last year, and when I ordered it they called it a JP bass, so when I researched it I did find a JP bass luthier and we talked and I sent him pictures of this bass, but he said that it wasn't one of his, but anyway the bass is well crafted also neckthru Zebrawood with EMG pick ups 18 volt and preamp unkown. It kind of reminds me of an Alembic body style.
weight - 10 ILbs
34"scale
preamp unknown
pick ups EMG
This has great slap tones and finger style tones and lots of bass, I posted a video of me playing it. Also it has small damage inside the bottom horn you can see it on the pictures.

Could that Bass have been made by Bob Frenz in Columbus?

I've owned several of his basses and it looks and sounds like his kind of thing.
But usually he marked them pretty well.

In any case GLWTS, it looks very well made whoever built it.
Dirk

p.s. nice sample and playing too!

It has an Alembic style to the body (Omega design) and fingerboard (with the Oval inlays). I know China is copying a lot of stuff, like Ken Smith looking basses. Is the string spacing tight like a Musicman 5, or a little more room? Alembic basses have tight string spacing for a 4 string so if it is cloned after them then the string spacing may be 16.5mm - 17.5mm.

I would have an interest in buying but would need to see more pictures of the Preamp.

The string spacing is more like that of a music man this bass guitars very solid well-constructed I'm just trying to find out who the luthier is and it's a great sounding Bass you wouldn't be mad
