Can anyone ID this Bass body? It appears to be made of laminated layers of light and dark mahogany. There are routed cutouts for 2 pairs of P-bass type pickups. The neck and bridge pickups are in mirror image positions. The body by itself weighs 6 lbs. The finish is a wine red color with gold stripes.
Truss rod adjustment is at the body. It also has a solid brass
bridge (not shwn in photo), similar to a Fender P-Bass, but with different screww hole locations. All help is appreciated.

Assembled this one from an SX Jazz bass... Sounds great, but I'm flipping the pickups on my next one.
YouTube demo of the bass, and me going into detail about all the mods.

Yup, as someone mentioned earlier, it is an ESP. model is called PPJ something.Don't know who made it. The artist is Masayoshi Yamashita from the group Loudness. I can't find anything on his gear.
