Bass ID Help

Man I post a lot of these.. Years ago I was at NAMM in California. 2000 to be exact. I played this super cool and wacked out bass and I am wondering if anyone might have an idea as to what this might be..
It was the headstock that was tripped out.
The headstock was kind of like stairs. The E string was the highest step and the G string was the lowest step. Each string had a step lower.. It was super funky and crazy and I have never seen anything like it..
Any ideas.

Nope. The headstock looked just like stairs. 4 per side. Stepping down from the E to the G string.. Just exactly like steps to your house

I bet you're talking about a "Pentabass", by Pentasystem.

Here's a gallery of pics: http://www.vintageandrareguitars.com/basses/Pentabass/2008-pentabass-5-string-8330

And here's the US patent for the headstock construction: http://www.freepatentsonline.com/6563032.html
