Mystery Bass Guitar - can you help me identify it?? Ventura 5 String

[stonecoldbass]

Hello people! I bought this bass around 10 years ago from a music store in Glasgow, Scotland. It was my first foray into playing a 5 string so I wasn't wanting to spend a lot of money on it in case we didn't get on. I saw this hanging on the wall and thought it looked like a pretty nice bass, obviously a Warwick inspired design. I plugged it in (it was active) and although the neck felt a bit a bit chunky it sound pretty cool. The name on the headstock says 'Ventura', the guy in the shop said it was a prototype for a new line they were considering getting in. I played it all through Uni, and it has quite a grunty Warwick-y type tone. I guess the store never got the line in because I never saw any basses with that name in there again.
I got it defretted about 6 months ago and the guy also thinned down the neck a bit which makes it way more playable. I also ripped out the active electronics so it's now just got 2 volumes and a tone control and sounds fantastic!
So my question is, can anyone tell me anything about this bass or the company?? I have tried extensive google searches but nothing really turns up. Does anyone else on here own one??
I've attached some pics and an mp3 of the bass.
