Thank, you for information and catalogue page!
I have seen similar Hohner (but with other logo on headstock). Maybe you are right, no any common with "Burns UK". I buy this bass with this logo, and maybe some one put personally.

About hardware: i have original electronics (pots, jack) and bridge (with little rust). Pickups was single coil (in a humbucker frame) and was unfunctional. I`am not shure that that was original pickups of the bass.

regards,

Denis
