Another Ebay bass, no idea what it is...

[johnk_10]

it looks like a 'Norma' bass to me. late 60's- early 70's MIJ, with kinda some Burns 'styling' to it.

The square pole-pieces on the pickups suggest Teisco (or at least the same factory) to me, assuming they're original.

I found a bass on ebay that has a similar shaped pickguard.

I guess its a Domino bass from japan. Perhaps that company was making knockoffs and made a peavey clone...

maybe?

Looks 60s asian to me...

Most def NOT a peavey

 

[sonic assassin]

headstock is rather peavey. pickguard is rather Burns.

odd looking pickups say asian for sure. some kind of knock off.

either way.. interesting beast. id hot rod that bastard and never look back

Looks like a 60's MIJ copy of a Burnsbass. Peavey never built anything that thin or short scaled.

I second the "Norma" nomination.
With a goofy "note" tailing off the "N" in the logo.

That pickup looks similar to the pickups on an old Kent violin bass I had, except they had a clear plastic cover with a flesh color painted underneath (!) instead of black like that one. Could it be a Kent?

 

[johnk_10]

Could it be a Kent?

IMO, it could..... or possibly an elektra, teisco, stadium, st. george, andre, or any other 60's bass made in japan and all most likely in the same factory, just wearing different badge.

Looks exactly like those bad 70's Peavey models. I never saw one of those sell...

 

[johnk_10]

it's definitely NOT a Peavey.

Fix the bridge and get a new rear pickup and you're set. Sweet find.

Vigier?

 

[80'sRocker]

Vigier? or simply custom made

 

[kronus]

It's a Burns or very close Burns knockoff. Check this auction, same type pickguard and inlays: linky

In other news, I still have not received it in the mail
