ID this bass?

My first thought was a ESP Bottom Bump………but the upper horn contour isn’t quite correct.

 

i’m also thinking it might be from Ibanez, but can’t for the life of me give a model suggestion.

@neepheid - where did that image come from? Any further clues to be gained from revealing the source of the photo?

 

Random Reddit image, I'm bringing it here second hand, sorry I've got nothing else.

The inward curve on the bottom of the bass is ringing some bells, but, for want of a better word, that 'ledge' carved into the side is really distinctive but doesn't ring any bells at all.

 

Not sure I've ever seen a bass that has that before.

AliExpress BTB knockoff? The carve and accuracy of the dark veneer stripe looks too good for that though, they're usually super wonky.

 

 

That bridge looks like a cheap import I had on on my Shine 6er and also on my old Cort for a bit, can't see enough of it to be sure though.

I just lifted my Jamstik off the stand (it was hidden behind something else) and the reason for the familiarity of that flourish round the strap button becomes clear.

I'd done some research when I first got this, and it's based on an Asmuse Leaf.

However, although they make basses, they're all headless, which is a Good Thing in some ways but doesn't help with an ID on the subject at hand.

Is it not maybe a Tune bass?

 

Japanese manufacturer first seen in the 80s with the Tune BassManiac.

 

I may be wrong cause the cut in the bottom of the body looks the wrong way round. 

 

Looks like a nicely made instrument.
