I just finished a week tour in Japan where I played rental basses. One night in Tokyo I had the pleasure to play Ray Brown's bass (at least the one he kept in Japan for his tours). It is basically twin to this bass! Sturdy and very well sounding.

no, unfortunately. After Ray passed away that bass was sold to a guy in Tokyo who is an amateur player from what I have understood. It's just a nice old german factory bass with a good power and even sound, nothing high pedigree, except the fact that it was former property of Mr. Brown.
