Hi,
I picked it up today (the bridge needs to be fixed/replaced.)

And there is nothing identifying the brand or model.

I hope somebody can help!

Thanks

Interesting bass. The bridge looks like what Dean uses. The preamp looks like a cheap model (there's the same one on eBay for $40). The headstock shape I've never seen before. There are cool touches like the figure in the neck and the wooden truss rod cover. It looks like it's a solid top from the pics. It's pretty cool but I have no clue who made it. I'd almost guess it's custom made. I'm interested to hear other's thoughts on it.


Edit: just did some image searching and found this pic from aliexpress under the name v-glorify (thought there is clearly a Dean sticker in it...). Maybe this us an import Dean knock off?
