What's this?

Can anyone please tell me what model this bass is? No names anywhere. Plays and sounds good so would think it is an Aria of some kind

Looks like an unbranded Washburn from the 80s.

Washburn Force / Vulture... can't remember which.

Not a Force, I think. It's a Vulture or an SB-40. - But anyway, Matsumoku, home of Aria basses, reportedly built most of the Washburns between 1979 and 1985 ("Wings" and "Stage" series), so the OP made a good guess.

Thanks guys,
It looks like a SB-40 of some period. I saw an image of one with identical tailpiece and another with everything identical except the tailpiece so I think we are on the right tracks.
I was asking for a friend so this is not my bass. Personally, as far as bass guitars are concerned I am a Fender man. As far as other guitars go I like most makes
