Does that look like a Koa top to you?

I think it looks more like rosewood in the first photo, or maybe Purple Heart.

I think Koa is on headstock, but don't get how people don't write any details about bass that cost 4500 euros

I was guessing vermilion or purpleheart on the top... didn't see a picture of the back. Man, those bridge saddles sure are cranked...

Definitely! The pickups are also installed incorrectly. Perhaps someone did a setup that wasn't very proficient.
