Help me identify this bass plz

This is of a friend of mine... no brand signs anywhere... doesnt feel like reael quility when i play it. plays quite nice though
only 1 knob works and that the volume level.
The neck fretboard is shorter than my bass.

I have no clue whatsoever what it is... any help?

 

If it's a Woolworths Top 20 bass, made by Sakai... and i would want to buy itr from him,... how much should i ask?

he's not played it ever, it was a gift from someone and he played the guitar and is out of the game... so maybe he'll sell it to me

any idea's? does this require a PM for price to me? *dont know the forum rules on this 1*

and it's from the 70-ies!?!? dang... its 10 years older then me then

 

as i said, it plays quite nice so if i wanted to buy it i defeniatly going to clean this one up. now there are a few prob's there...

- screws on the pickguard are all rusted, can i take them out to see what's beneath it and be able to screw the rusted ones back on?

- when i take my "jack plug"-music cable thingie out of it i get the feeling im going to rip off the whole pickguard :S
It feels like its just all the way empty wherever i push on the pickguard :S

- The knobs arent working as well, but that should be easy to fix right? IF i would open the pickguard it should be easy to see what to fix.

any idea's on how to fix this?

i guess,...

buy new screws, rip it open, see what's dead inside and replace it. Putting some new strings on this one...
should cost me about 50 to 80 bucks ? or something?

im not an expert on repair and spare parts but i think my gues would be okay, so... 150 minus +/-75 would leave me 75 to buy it right?

it's getting more and more tempting to go and buy it off him even though he didnt say it was for sale

 

well the fretboard play allright (as i said) i didnt check anything of it yet, but just played with it and the strings seem way too loose but it's tone is good/it ain't out of tune.

Could this be because the strings are probably 30 years old as well? Do strings get lazy or some kind?

I did turn off the cap at the bottom of the strings and about 30 years of dust came to light actually pretty disgusting. and it describes the bass perfectly.

a rust coverred "thing" which u can barely call a bass anymore.

the pickups are moveable btw... is this normal? you can push them down on 1 side so the other side comes up.

and i would need a method to remove the rust on the pickups.

i also noticed when i plugged in my own bass this one is giving way less volume so it needs to be REAL loud to get a decent sound.

im beginning to doubt to buy it from him. There's so much work in this one i gues. if he'll give it to me for 30 or 40 bucks i'll buy it. But that would be the max prize for me.

There is so much goop on the bass im almost afraid of touching it, *the dust/stuff*

The truss rod seems oke btw.

but then again it's a bass and i think it would be fun just to make it function the right way again, would get me to learn about the bass physics and stuff like that...

now im going to try and buy

wish me luck!

 

forgot to tell... the tuners are rusted like ... i dont know what's really rusty,.. but it's as rusty as something like that.

i think they might stay in tune for a good time but this is mainly due to the rust in them, they turn very VERY hard with shocks and irregular resistance when turning.

*can explain this 100%, but i hope you guys know what i mean*
