Looks like a cheapo Kent or a Norma both specialised in strange versions of violin basses and junk semis, I think they were made in the same far east factory and rebadged. I had a Norma violin bass and the pickups looked like these.
There used to be a site caled fetishguitars and one called bizarreguitars, you may be able to find via Google.

With all the cracks in it, I would be very wary of buying it
