Hello & a question

Hi, new here but have been playing about 3 years now. I was wondering if anyone had ever heard of a Rainier bass? This was my first bass. We found it in a pawn shop and it has a fantastic sound.

I have looked on the net for the last three years trying to find out any information on it, but no luck so far. Only one person I've talked to has even "thought" they had heard of the name before, but no other info than that. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!!
