My P Bass - What is it?

Hi everyone, really happy to be a part of this group 😁
 
Id like your thoughts on a P Bass copy I have. My dad bought it 2nd hand in 1986. Its a real good player and has seen many gigs. I've always wondered what it really was and now it's mine, I'm doing a little digging. 
 
The Fender decal on neck is hand painted and someone has stuck a home made precision sticker on there lol. It's also been damaged at some point, could even be a replacement neck. Maybe it was in a punk band lol. Seems to fit the body well though. It has a heal trus rod. I've removed the neck to find the reminance of a serial sticker but it was to far gone.
The body has a block above the E which on a Fender would suggest mid 70s onwards and there are holes to suggest it had a bridge and pickup cover. 
Pots are 250k 05A Noble and one of the cables is blue.
It looks like one of the Italian Melody P Basses but the made in Japan neck plate suggests otherwise. IMG_20201208_072234.thumb.jpg.7973203293c90ea4128742537c854817.jpg
 
Any ideas appreciated 😊

Headstock front and back, and back of body pics may help a bit...

I think you have covered some important points...

A hand me down from ya Dad, and a good player... Nice hazy anodized looking Blue enjoy.

Hi Paul, this is my 1st time using this site and I accidentally posted twice. There's another listing with several pics but I admit I missed a rear headstock shot on the other too. 

Thanks for your help
