Can anyone identify this bass?

[SlowpokeJoe]

Those beige DiMarzio pickups and gold colored control knobs make me think of 80's era Matsumoku basses in the Oakland/Vantage/Vox lines, but that headstock is throwing me off.

The hole in the headstock is definitely form over function, but damn it's kinda cool, right?!

Might be form and function, and a useful way to hang it....

I'm guessing it's czech made.

What makes you say that?

gold bridge/tuners; 12th fret inlay and flamed top are similar to a czech-made Dean Edge 4 Improv I own

Fair enough! I kinda want to visit this guy and play it just to see/hear!

 

[yodedude2]

that truss rod cover appears quite misaligned. my first guess would be a custom/one-of build.

I think you should. And report back to us because, you know, that's the important thing, satisfying our curiosity.

Someone has this for sale in my local Facebook marketplace, and I've never seen a headstock like this before. The body almost looks like a peavey, but the knobs appear to be p-bass. Maybe a custom?

Can anyone help identify this bass?

Thanks in advance!

Don’t know offhand but I know I’ve seen this headstock emblem before not too long ago on another bass while surfing to quench G.A.S.

I think it's a bass from O'VADKA GUITARS, built by Dan O'vadka.

I don’t know what it is, but to me it has a mid-to-late 80’s FujiGen

FWIW, I've never seen one of his basses for sale before, but there was a late 90's O'Vadka Flying V type guitar listed a couple of times on Reverb once for $3,495 and once for $2,995.

Yep! That's the only one I found as well, an astronomically priced ended sale on reverb. Insane.

Out of my league for sure. And there's no telling what up with this one. I say good luck to him.
