Thanks for all the input. For what its worth, it's a great sounding/feeling bass. It's a keeper for sure. I for sure agree that some of the work looks pro level and it has pro parts. But certain details like the headstock, knot rear and such make it seem like its not. But it sounds good and plays good so its a keeper for me.

Thanks for the insight. If I'm not mistaken that inlays on your bass look very similar to the one I'm trying to ID.

It sounds absolutely amazing. The sound is punchy and tight. Sounds/feels better than my more modern basses. Everything parts wise on the bass, as well as the finish on the top are very high quality bits.

I totally agree. I've seen the spearhead design. I was told that this one was made by Ashley and his apprentice. But the headstock "plate" fell off several years ago which is located on the headstock where the hole is. I've seen Pangborns/Alembics have that plate on the headstock, and also the tuners are made in W. Germany so I assume its made in the mid-late 80's if thats the case before the Berlin wall fell in 89'. Still not too sure if it's something I can ID. It plats EXTEREMELY well and obviously has some nice high parts. Neck thru design I know was a premium thing for 80's basses.

Hi Guys! I could really use your help on this. I've just picked up what I was told was either an Ashley Pangborn or TuneBass/Bad UK Bass guitars. There is space on the headstock where there could've been a badge but was told by the previous owner that it fell off years ago. Here are some details on it that aren't pictured.
