Here's an interesting one.  Too bad there aren't more pics.

Egads, looks like the same neck pickup as my Martin EB bass.

Those pickups look like they might be Schaller pickups perhaps .

I tried several vintage tone caps I had sitting around on my Martin EB for that pickup and I found one that really perked it up and gave it a nice fat tone, compared to the original one!
