Hi. Yeah, that's all I could find to go on too. No model number or name, no idea if its a budget bass or something a bit more prestige, though if they make them for JPJ they must be decent! The wood is certainly nice. Its been gathering dust in my mates grandmas place for a couple of decades!
Dean isnt' known for high end gear yet made guitars for Jeff Berlin - who has now switched to Cort...and what he plays isn't exactly what you and I can buy.

talks about andy manson and his making instruments for jones. The history of the manson link above talks about a hugh manson...and that site has the JPJ signature but shows no other basses. Hmmm.

Here is my 1972 Telecaster bass next to my two 2011 60th Anniversary Precisions.
Wow that Tele is beautiful.
Here's my Thumb, just restored.... I bought it used, a month ago in a poor condition. I entirely dismantled this wonderful bass. New bridge, new tuners, new knobs, a big work on the wood to return it to original satin oïl finish and 2 Delano Pickups. This is my 6th bass, I just went back to play a few months ago.

Thanks dude! In fact this is the second set of Delano split coils I install on a bass. First was on a Warmoth that I build myself, second on this one and honesty this is the best pickups I've ever tried. Hot, powerful, clear and it respects the sound of wood. I shall make a sample asap.
Awesome, please do. I've been wondering if the Delano's were for me or not. I'm looking to replace the stock pups in my affinity p/j and I'm a fan of active electronics. But if the Delano's push enough, I may go that route.
Ok I'll try to do that asap. Delano fits on all basses. IMO this is THE pickup everyone needs. Of course you can't make a Rickenbacker sound with a Delano, i.e.
On my thumb I can split in passive mode and they are still powerful!
I just found a sample of the Warmoth I build. Direct without amp in the record. Both pickups. This is a JB bass all maple with quality wood (1200 USD of materials without electronic)

On this bass I put a Sonar 2 eq (Delano).
