And it's a Sumbro. Sumbro was the early 70s house brand of Summerfield Brothers in Gateshead. The company later became Charles Summerfield Ltd and the brand was changed to CSL. CSL were built by Fujigen Gakki (Summerfield was UK importer for Ibanez at the time so probably sourced their own guitars through Hoshino Gakki) but Sumbro don't seem to be from the same source,and I can't say which factory built this bass.
I'm fairly sure it's not Fujigen or Matsumoku though - there were a lot of generic importer-brand guitars in the UK in the 70s (Grant, Columbus, Avon, Arbiter, Shaftesbury, Eros etc) who didn't use a specific factory & many of the makers remain unidentified.
