1960s Framus Star Bass Indentification Assistance

[rjknmor]

Hi there! I'm looking for assistance in identifying a 1960s Era Framus Electric Bass. When I do a lookup, I see a few single pickup models, but not one exactly like what I have. The serial is faded so that's not a big help. This group seems to be extremely helpful in identifying the rare and unusual so I thought I'd take a shot.

Hallo. As you said: a rather unusual Star Bass. Probably delivered as the dealer, importer (or sales department) wanted. switch added, as the hole in body was already there. The adjustable thumb rest is an interestng item, never saw one before.

I was able to make out the serial. It’s a 5/148 model serial number 48466. There’s no date code or tested by info unfortunately and I have been unable to find the exact configuration as this one. It’s definitely an odd duck.
