A pine neck.  That must be interesting to deal with when the humidity changes.

The offset/ stepped headstock is interesting. 
Certainly “one of a kind”.

I'd like to see one made like that big bird he played that has strings attached.. and didn't he play one that was made from a big curved bone?

This should have been inlaid in the headstock.

Then it would be a bass made from Chris Pine.

It’s a Gibstone. Or maybe even an Alembrock.
