The listing describes it as in excellent condition, but a few things caught my eye.  The pickups don't look original as they don't fit the cutouts and there are screw holes there doing nothing.  A control knob is missing.  There are a couple of holes in the area of the controls where it looks like someone thought about doing some drilling.  And is the jack supposed to stick out of the body like that?

Those appear to be replacement pickups.  All the Oasis guitars I've seen had Hi-A pickups, the predecessor to Bartolinis, along with oval pickup surrounds. 

Bill, tgo

So, the surrounds are missing as well.

Here is a pic of the Oasis bass I used to own, which had all the correct parts.
