It looks a lot like an old Fender Jazz Bass, or a copy, if I'm not mistaken.

I had that EXACT same bass when I was a kid; I had traded a scratched-up Sex Pistols record for it. I remember I had to wait about two or three weeks before I had enough money to buy a set of bass strings. :)

No, it's not worth anything substantial, but yours looks like it's in good shape so if it works it's a good thing.

It probably isn't worth much, but hey, it looks cool and if it plays/sounds decent then more power to ya.

"mmm. sexy." is right.

It is a copy of the JazzMan bass. As far as I know, they used Maple necks instead of Rosewood.
Looks to be either a Ravan or an Onyx copy.
Take the neck off and see if there are any numbers or letters stamped on the stock bore or the neck itself
