That is why I suggested just a Matt Freeman body. Those other parts you mention are obviously missing. Probably removed along with the neck , knobs and possibly the pickup .

The neck alone is worth the $149, IMO. I have a CIC 2018 CV 70s P and the neck is just crazy good and comfortable.
Matt Freeman body married a china CV70P neck with unknown creature signature....
Bridge not original too.
The price tag are worth if the bass work and function well.

This is not a Matt Freeman body guys, the neck is CIC CV 70 Pbass for sure, original tuners but the body is smaller than a traditional Precision Bass body. Check the surrouding of the pickguard 
and Matt Freeman bodies are way less "yellow". For 150, like @Kipp Harrington said, it's totally worth it lol

I’m not ready to commit 100% either way to it being a MF body or not. But I have seen some that yellow . Things can appear different in photos than in person. ( angles, lighting , size, color).
Maybe removing the neck would give some further clues to what the body is.
I know the CNC profile for CIC bass bodies and the shape of the body on the bridge side is rounded, not flat like it would be on these bodies. I commit 100% on my side! in any case it's a nice catch
Yah,. Op need remove the bridge.
If there are sign of bridge screws refill and redrill which narrow than CIC CV himass bridge ,it possibly a MF bass body.
The bridge on this mistery MF bass pretty much look alike the one found on Fender Performer bass. Bend plate with Am Pro saddle.
I’ll do a further investigation on it on the 14th of March when I pick it up. I already bought a Pure Vintage ‘63 pickup for it and GHS Balanced Nickel strings to convert it to my liking. Looking forward to share the news with you all
How did you manage to get the Precision Bass pickup cover to hole onto the pickguard as the routing is getting in the bottom screw way? Thanks and pretty Pbass!
For OEM Fender or aftermarket to fit Fender, I've had great luck with these guys. Usually pretty reasonably priced as well.

Thanks man. But that's the bridge cover. Looking for the pickup cover.
Wait a minute. Now I found one that looks like that! Hmmm...

Kipp, that's where I bought all the parts for my Jazz Bass mods, they just seem pretty reasonable on their prices, often you can find genuine Fender bits cheaper than a lot of places.
Good Luck !
