Wow too. If this bass is not a short or medieum scale it must weigh a ton. Look at the size of the body compared to the scale length !! I just wonder what this strange glittering surface on the hardware is ... or does it have a relief structure ?

A better picture.

Per the owner: Some of the features include: Alembic pickups, hand hammered brass tailpiece, hand hammered switchplate cover, ebony fretboard and amazing tone.

I'm confused. Is this a continuation of the thread shown here:

Or did you see this bass listed somewhere?

Maybe, maybe not. This mystery gumdrop bass is being offered for sale on talkbass.com. Can find the link if you like.

Thanks Shawn; I found the listing at talkbass. I guess David has decided to pass this project on to someone else.

Project? Vas does zis mean?
Project as in restoration. or project as in figuring out what the hell it is?
OK, I'll bite. How much is David asking?
