Can anyone help me ID this bass guitar?

[BadgerGotBass]

Hi,

 

I'm looking for some help in identifying a bass guitar that I have. I have little to go on and I'm not that clued up when it comes to brand names, history and so on, so I'd really appreciate any help from the forum.

 

The only details I know are that on the head are the initials MI or CMI, which I'm assuming is the name of the manufacturer. It also has a Made in Japan plaque on the main body of the bass. 

 

I've attached some pictures of the bass to help with identifying it. It has a bit of a beaten up look to it but it still plays amazingly well and I kind of like how the knocks give it some character. It's also lightweight and has been given a look over inside and everything is as it should be.

 

I'd be very grateful for some help as I would be looking to sell the bass, but I don't want to go ahead and list it without the correct information.

 

Thanks,

Kevin

or even off here, ignore the fact that below is about a Jazz version but the background info is possibly relevant.
