Must be a shop-night / employee bass, dontcha think?

I can see what the truss rod cover says, but all the components look (too) Alembic-sourced.
No affiliation, just thought it's an interesting example, and the seller story might be incomplete.

*same one. https://club.alembic.com/index.php?topic=26075.msg264101#msg264101

And it was here before that too I think... we got us a repeat offender. https://club.alembic.com/index.php?topic=11165.msg126953#msg126953
