One way or another we now know she blows. Horns.

What this Les Paul bass?

A custom job perhaps, with those pickup positions?

I noticed that and the stop bar bridge/tailpiece.

Looks like one of the early prototypes. Uwe has one of them but I don't remember if he has one with a bar. What must it be like to have the connections Tom Petersson has to score cool basses? He seems to be rivaling Rick these days (maybe not in numbers, but certainly in cool pieces)!

Yeah, a prototype most likely. Phil Jones, crafter of the nineties LP series, experimented some with the pup positioning and also the bridge before he went first for the tried and trusted three point and then for the Warwick bridge. But there were Epi LPs with similar bridges and the recent BFG LP Bass has something akin too. Intonation range is limited on those though, cool looks or not.

Thanks Uwe. How's the sound, more barky/honky with both pickups on than on the subsequent production model?

I don't have a prototype like that but I have other LP basses with different pup positions. Except in cases where you have a real neck pup right behind the fretboard, the differences are slight.

Kinda like the different positions on a Grabber.
