It feels a lot like a Jazz Bass ! but with a way better access to the last frets. nothing too exotic when played, despite the melted-looking body shape 
It sounds pretty much like a Jazz Bass too, but the pickups are more powerfull and sound less thin than typical JB pickups.
The place is called Ardèche, in the south of France. your comparison makes me want to visit Northern California 
It really is an awesome look. The only two I have ever seen are yours and Fumi’s. Very uncommon and cool.
Here’s my Ibanez SoundGear SRA500… just put some Rotosounds on it the other day…
Also have a Cimar RD2072 fram the lawsuit era, but only 1 pic allowed…
Nice-looking bass with a really attractive finish @Roger_K . . .
Welcome aboard and hope you enjoy your time here!
All best, Joe
Thanks Joe!
After I finally lowered the action on my jazz bass, I thought I’d add a chrome bridge cover to complete that " 70’s vintage" look . . .
All best, Joe
Welcome @Roger_K! And I just bumped the pic limit for new users yesterday, so we can see your other bass now. 
That Soundgear is pretty!
And nice bridge cover Joe @Jazzbass19
I really like the current Squier range. amazing instruments for the price, not far at all from “the real thing”.
Before I bought my bass(es) last year I asked a drummer friend who I know gigs (and has lots of bass player friends) what they would recommend for a beginner, and the response was quite uniform: Squier VM Jazz. I tried one but it didn’t feel right, and at the time I had an aversion to the brand from a poor reputation when I was young. When I’m near the music shop again next I’m going to give one a try. Not that I don’t like my Peavey or Epiphone, but I can always own 3 basses (4 if you count the acoustic hanging for sale in the shop), can’t I?
@PeteP, that bass came in second in @JoshFossgreen’s blindfold test of the top ten basses for beginners, and that’s the one I bought. I was very lucky to find it, and it is now discontinued.
I owned a “real” 1978 Fender Jazz Bass but had to sell it. It looked (and felt) exactly like my Squier except it had black dots instead of black square inlays. So it’s like going down “memory lane” for me . . . 
Cheers, Joe
You are my idol!
@drexel98 Fantastic - I procured this same Geddy Lee signature bass a year ago - and no, the bass doesn’t know it’s a Geddy Lee signature instrument to answer a question posed when I previously posted, but it sure feels nice to play 
and looks great!
Discontinued? There are a lot of new ones still in the shops and online. Perhaps they’re in a production hiatus, but it doesn’t seem hard to get one. I wonder if we’re talking about subtly different models as there are a few tweaks around. I’m not clued up on the instrument industry so I may have missed something obvious.
EDIT
It looks like the Vintage Modified has been replaced by the Classic Vibe '60s & '70s series. I must just be seeing shop stock listings.
That is correct . . .
So many nice basses…
Here’s my gorgeous USA Fender P-Bass. I got it almost 7 years ago as a 30th birthday gift from friends. We’ve had lots of fun since then.
Nice friends! If they need one more friend, say, from Scotland… 
Haha I’ll let them know!
