That bass has literally been on ebay for years. It was there when I was looking to buy my Ripper, and that was at least two years ago.

We've discussed this German crackpot before here on Shortscale. The guy is always selling (or trying to sell) butchered guitars for way more than what they would be worth even if they weren't mangled. I don't understand why he's still in business, because none of his garbage ever sells, for obvious reasons.

oh god....
See, if I saw this done to a guitar, I would basically say it's trash. No longer good. I'd probably just chuck it in a dumpster no matter what the fuck it used to be. I don't even know if I would even try to sell it, but I might at least try to sell it for parts.
That shit is terrible. Makes me sad.

I once read that guy's feedback and ended up hating him more than anyone I've ever encountered.
Most of his stuff is low-value parts, slightly inflated. Although if anyone buys shit like this they deserve to get ripped-off:
