Diamond LP style bass

Hi there,
A local shop has a nice black bolt-on LP style bass of the Diamond brand. It's there for ages and nobody knows anything 'bout history, prices, and so. Any opinions here?
The shopkeeper asked me for advice, but I though you guys would know!

Mid to late 70s Aria? That's the only older Diamond brand I'm familiar with. And they did make a bunch of Gibson-style bolt-ons.

I also found a Diamond brand on Fetish Guitars, but that's definately something else. Thanks, Dave!

You started a thread the other day about an LP Junior style bass:
http://bassoutpost.com/index.php?topic=1617.0
. That was an Aria-made Diamond. I thought it was overpriced, looks like it didn't sell.

How could I miss my own thread....
The LP looks very different though. Big Framus looking switches, other type 'Diamond' inlay.. I'll try to make some pics.

* BUMP*
there's a cool Jolana Diamant Bas on Ebay right now.
With a cool Framus like pickup selector switch
Bridge looks fascinating
And those Spektrum pickups look intriguing too
Probably plays like crap. But I think it
looks
fantastic!
