Bingo!

Dean USA Custom Shop Deceiver Bass.
Based on their Deceiver Guitar.
I knew I should've cropped that photo a little more.
Missed out on this a few years ago. Seller dropped the price twice and I was waiting for a third time. Instead the seller decided not to sell it.
Even has a volute at the bottom of the headstock.

Then appropriately named (Deceiver) cuz I was stumped for a while.

Not exactly

No, not exactly but very specifically designed to allude to - and yes, appropriately named.

Gibson-made, but fairly obscure.

That's a Zeta Prism

The reason I know is because ~30 years ago I was completely GASsing for a Zeta Prism...until I played one.

Brass nut? My Coral Deluxe bass has an aluminum nut, like all Dano's.

I like this bass a lot but for the life of me can't remember the builder so you're on your own. I'd know it if I heard it again though.

It sounds Spanish if I recall...like with a "C"?!?!

The one in the back looks like a Serek Metropolis.

No "C"... It's a Vila:

Though it's also noticeably different, that headstock reminds me of Fano:
