Hard to say, any pictures of the headstock? Any brand name? Looks like it might be one of the 70s or 80s Japanese manufacturers - I think I've seen those same Gibson ripoff pickups before, not sure where.
 
The neck pickup looks a lot like a DiMarzio Model One. Never saw one in a chrome cover though.

Looks like you might have an issue with the E and A string output because they're not aligned with the pole pieces. See how that works for you.
 
Your bass says ''Status'' on the headstock but it certainly doesn't look like a Status. I'm no expert on the history of Status basses though. It's possible that Rob Green (Status Graphite) was experimenting with Fender style basses (or necks) early on. You could always try posing your question here: Invalid Link Removed

Many thanks for your info
