Bass identification, Help!

Hi there, this is my first time here on forum, so I hope I didn't miss the place for posting this thread.
I have a GIANT problem, recently i've got this bass, but it had none of: name of producer, country or serial number - nothing.
It have really unique and small body shape, and especially unique headstock shape, it reminds a little at yamaha, but i can't find that one. And one more thing, it has exactly the same electronics hole from the back side as one of the yamaha's BB i've seen. Hole cover is exactly the same size, and it fit's correctly. Sorry for my bad english, please try to help me and tell me which bass is this!
Finally, here are the pictures:

Maybe headstock looks like Alembic rogue, but I assure you it isn't, my headstock is thinner and more triangle-like, maybe more sharp, (english is not my native language so i can't explain best)
I have forgot to mention, it's pretty old, more than 10years, i'm sure, i can't guarantee for more, but i can assume

edit:
oh, now i see, you didn't ment about alembic rogue model ;) you thought about Rogue SX, Ok, i looked at it,
it's not that, it's very very similiar, but, mine has parallel positioned tuners, two by two, in the same rows, on this rogue bass tuners are slightly one beneath other, and also, my pot cap's were originaly black, on red bass, those are chrome, also the bridge was different on mine, thank for trying, but it's not rogue.

if you're interesed!

But I want to know which bass is that?? I looked for TUNE basses, but also tuners are not in the row, :help: :help:
:bassist: :bassist:
 
yes, i would like to trade bass, i need one 5 stringer, but problem is that i'm from croatia, so any part of music equipment is much more expensive than for example in Germany, UK, or USA, so I could not earn any money this way, only loose it,, for example:
only for EMG pickups (both p/j) i've paid more than 240 Euro, from dealer.
I assume that you guys wouldn't pay more than 200E
And I assume that i wouldn't get more than 450E for this guitar.
So it's a loss for me.


Conclusion: Some guy made this bass, trade it to another guy, that guy trade it to my friend and i buy it from him, guy who has made the bass died and became a legend - unknown luthier legend ;) Delph tunes the bass and became a legend, living bassist legend :) yeah!
