The body shape looks very HB RB414.

Came to say precisely this. I like the finish though

What a load of rubbish!

 

This is way more accurate!

Obvious variation on the HB thing. Like the fact they've binned the nasty Chickenbacker hardware & electronics, don't like the fact they kept the nasty throwaway scratchplate 'design'.

 

In other news, if you're in the Phillipines, you can get one of these:

For about £160, or a bit cheaper in white with a maple fretboard, and a bit dearer in green.

 

Wonder how easy it is to import a bass from Manila? Or bring one back from a holiday trip...

I kinda like the look of these more than the HB one. Seems to be trying to be a bit different with not using the big bridge and the MM style pickups. The spec says it has a 38mm nut width, opposed to the HB's 43.6 mm width too.

'Ere, back when I were lad, all this round 'ere was a Ricky-free zone. That booger John Hall, 'e 'ad faster briefs than a whippet, if y'gets my meaning. Weren't none of this Chickenbacker nonsense back then, neither. Nay lad, Basschat knew its place back then, hiding behind t'sofa in case a writ come through t'letter box.

I'm also reminded of the Alden 'Beatbacker' Bass, which I owned for about an hour or so before requesting a return. The worst bass I ever had. Fret-sprout, rough finish, badly hacked scratchplate and noisy electrics.

I'd rock that!

TBH, if the one in the OP didn't have the pickguard you wouldn't be able to tell it was supposed to be a Ric-a-like.

I like the look of that.
