Can't see the bridge, but from behind it looks like a 2-Tek.

Built by Scotty Bevilacqua, the company used to be HB guitars.  I've known Graham Henman since the mid '80s.  He directs commercials, this is a side project.  He's now working with Rick Turner on the new stuff.  Graham and his wife did the design of the bass with Scotty and all the hardware and other bits were custom pieces.  I played one in '07.  It looked, played and sounded great.  Those are EMG Hz passive pups.  The neck has a unique truss rod system. 
The new bass is called  "Rolla" and is shown as a prototype on the site...with Darkstars.

I think it is a bit more mainstream.  Bridge is now a hipshot.  The original bass had a lot of features from the Ibanez CS ATK (900?) that Scotty worked on, including the bridge (not a 2TEK) and trussrod system.

Weiner pickups
These pickups would be fitting, yes?

They should fit in the cavity, yes?

You know, it took me ages to see where you guys were getting a congressman's unit out of that pic and when I finally saw it I was horrified at the though of having one so bent and malformed!  :o
