Pics would be good

I kind of suspect this would be a Burnside by Guild bass, produced in the far east in the late eighties. I know they produced super strat type and tele guitars, so it might be reasonable to assume they did a P style as well.

sorry!
OH and i will get photos up tomorrow.
cheers

This was the closest thing I could find, which probably isn't that useful. Maybe they can help you out with specs if you contact them?

Nice looking solid timber (if it was ply you'd be able to see the layers) body, & if the neck & fret job are OK it looks like it's a decent basic P copy for pimpin' & upgrading.

I played a few Goulds several years ago when I was looking for a first guitar for my daughter - on the whole they seemed well spec'd & put-together but let down by bad setups & half-arsed fret finishing. Nothing a couple of hours of tweaking & fret-dressing wouldn't fix.
