This looks like a fun instrument to play.

Interesting , check out how high the bridge is set at.

The nut appears to be at an excessively high setting also.

Maybe it's set up for slide! :-)

Very cool bass despite the string height issues. Probably could be adjusted with no problem.
Oh if I only had the cash!

Slide ? Perhaps then some kind of open tuning as well ?

Look how far the Bass (neck ) position sticks up . I remember having played one of these in a pawn shop many Moons ago and something that I noticed was at how high the dimension are at the point where the neck meets the body . There is also something that I noticed as to how the union between the neck and body was made . The back of the Bass needs to be seen ! I think there may be a reason that the set up is as it appears ; perhaps it would be wise for a prospective purchaser to inquire about this issue .

The relative dimensions must be more similar to a standup than most other electric basses.
It would be nice to see some pictures of the action at the end of the fingerboard. Considering there is a zero fret I'm guessing the action at the nut is properly low.

I think that might be an accurate comparison.
