Am I Seeing Things

Check out this auction on EBay:  http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2531200715&category=4713
Look at the picture of the headstock.  What is going on there?  Does that look like an Alembic logo, or is it just me?

Looks as if someone did a fairly good job of painting one on.
 
I would also like to add that the bottom of that bass looks like a butt.

At second glance, and the aid of supesize picture, it looks as if the logo was cut from a promo or poster and shellacked on. The bass still looks like a butt, though ;)

I guess you need two of these basses for rowing.
Amazing that people are offering these things for selling. I would be too ashamed to ask money for something like this. I heard they are doing great in a fireplace.

They could have at least put the A sting in the slot in the nut.  Strange.
 
A deformed butt.

Kind of Frankensteinish, isn't it. I wonder what it used to be??
