That looks exactly like mine, or at least it would do if it was a different colour, had no frets and passive MEC J pickups instead of humbuckers. Probably a different wood too, although that doesn't really make any difference, does it?

Let's spread some musical misinformation

Well yes...it does make a difference.
But the differences are minute.
But that's o.k. because in a minute you'll be right on time.
It makes a difference if you are a tree.
Everyone does that backwards. They try to raise or lower strings, when in reality, it is far better to raise or lower the fret board. And everyone also think's that left-handed basses are backwards or upside-down, when in reality, they just have the strings put on the other side.
Well it is a photo of not your bass that I didn't take. So clearly identical.
We all seem to have the exact same taste in bass guitars. Uncanny, meaning if we could can it, it would be canned.
Just like Paul McCartney, Elvis was in Germany when he decided to buy a bass.
Elvis didn't have much money at the time and needed a bass for the band he played in when he wasn't doing KP duty.
He found this Hofner in a small music shop in Hamburg..

It was a miracle...because all German music shops are stacked to the rafters with classical sheet music tied in bundles.
Many think that a fuzz is a carefully designed electronic circuit. In fact, the whole of the technology is in cramming a cat into a pedal. The sound produced is the cat's attempts to get out. Hence the original fuzz pedal being named fuzz face after Erwin "fuzz face" Schrödinger (an ironic nickname as he had no facial hair). Just one of many box oriented cat experiments done by fuzz face.

Kibble, milkbones, and P Basses. And redheads.
This explains a lot ...

Contrary to popular belief, Hammond has never produced a genuine organ. A landmark court case in 1937 against Hammond by Organs R Us forced Hammond to rename their invention with a B for borg preceding organ to differentiate between the robotic Hammond contraption and the genuine, wind-driven, traditional pipe organ.
Nevertheless, the Hammond Borgan was a huge success, celebrated by players and punters, worldwide, and the young company flourished. Hammond's amazing device went on to help produce some of the most funky popular music of the Twentieth Century and everyone completely forgot about the initial furor.
A gap was surreptitiously introduced into the logo, between the B and the O, and so the Hammond Borgan evolved into the ubiquitous Hammond B organ we know and love today.

The inventor of the Hammond organ is here on the right along with his two technical advisors.
And of course, here is the original prototype (which almost cost the inventor his life):
And the second prototype:
Hammond partnered with Swift Meats to make an "official sandwich" for promotion of their musical instruments.
Swift couldn't get rid of animal entrails efficiently so they introduced the " Ham and Organ " on a Kaiser bun.
Procol Harum ate one and wrote the song "Whiter Shade Of Pale" after he fell ill.
