Except for the lighter fret board looks very much like this Univox stereo bass. (note the double truss rods)

see following post

So there were copies with two truss rods?

Yes, but if I remember correctly on the Univox one I seen you used a Hex key to adjust the rods. I imagine this would have limited the adjustment available more than the Ric system.

I notified the seller, here's his response:

"Further to the previous question: I have now take off the nameplate as you suggested and I can only find 1 truss rod. As a result I am suspending the auction until I can get more info & a truer valuation of this bass. Sorry for any inconvenience caused to anybody."

I shouldn't post late at night (above), I meant Allen wrench for adjusting the truss rods, not hex key. the end nut was like a "cap" on the end of the truss rod. I have no idea what the other end looked like.
