Probably has Alembic on the peghead, we've seen those necks before. Legit Modulus, but no Alembic.

Yes ,That is what I was thinking as well. I played  a Bolt On version of one of those once  In a music store a few decades ago and I thought is was OK for a Bolt ON .

I've seen that bass in a posting or ad before. probably sounds pretty nice, with graphite neck, walnut body and Barts.
 
Didn't Modulus and Alembic briefly collaborate on the Bass Star graphite necks? Not sure who sold them.

Not really. But our names are both on those neck to confound future generations. The Bass Star necks were made and sold by Modulus.
