That is a 60's Hofner 185 "Artiste" bass with replacement bridge (the original tailpiece was left on) and non-original pickups.

Woah! It went for $2025!Whoa, indeed.
The tone is still very hifi, just not so electric sounding. Imagine an Alembic with Ken Smith's pickups and preamp and you're mostly there. (...) It really felt like a big ukelele. The pictures make the body look much larger than it is. It's about the same size as a Hofner Beatle Bass, just a smidge bigger.Thanks. GAS is gone.
