Here's a very similar bass that just sold on aussie ebay - the make is Horugel, apparently. I dig the way it looks, but I know nothing else about them.
Good luck finding more info.

Got a pic of the back of the headstock?

It looks like a Japanese 60's bass, sold under tons of brands such as Teisco, St. George and other names, but it could be Italian.

Looks like a teisco to me, but I could be wrong.

Thank you all for your replies. Nothing but an "inspected by" sticker on the back.

The tuners look right for the Japanese made basses I am thinking of, but I can't tell if the neck is made of plywood. Does it look like a bunch of pieces of wood glued together?

A few years back, I bought an EB-3 clone which had the Festival brand name. It also had the same inspection sticker and little else in terms of markings.

I found that the body was made of plywood, so at least that one was a lower-end cloner. Not sure on the neck.

I removed the pick guard and it's plywood. I appreciate everyone's help.
