I'd guess Hofner based on the fretboard inlays.
Contrary to what James Bond says, a good Gibson should be stirred, not shaken.

There's a bass in that photograph?

There's a lot of PVC wrapped Candy...
The random mind of a Silver Surfer...
If research was easy, it wouldn't need doing...
Staring at that event horizon is a dirty job, but someone has to do it; something's going to come back out of it one day...

Höfner was famous for the D-Day Stripes on the neck. It looks like this one has replacement pickups. Can't imagine that Höfner used those.

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