You really have to look at all of the pics, and read the description, to get the full experience... (it was re-listed).... factor in the $800 asking price as the cherry on top..

Could not resist :


"This is my 4 string electric bass guitar project that is NOT wired up and needs a capacitor and new tuners and strap buttons - the strap button holes are drilled. Comes with the guitar pots and a switchcraft long reach jack. It has a really rough feel. It is made of poplar (body) oak (neck) and tree bark on top of the body please don't beat it to much because tree bark is fragile! The neck does not have a truss rod. I think Oak is strong enough. The neck is 1 1/4 thick. I'm pretty sure it goes up to 23 notes. The headstock is a little thick and may not accept the tuners screws on the top. It has a special nut to force the strings in position. The nut has part of the screw sticking out, so you may want to make a new one or not. I was building it for my metal music. The tailpiece accepts standard size bass strings up to 105. The dr strings have some paint on them as do the pickup covers. The side dots may not be accurate but can be filled in with wood filler. I marked the twelfth fret as the eleventh fret accidently! Thanks for looking. I accept returns on this item and will you be refunded once I receive the bass back if you do not like it after seven days. I ONLY SHIP TO LOWER 48 STATES! Don't harass me If you don't like this bass or my policy. I have had that happen before."

I think I'd stand a greater chance of getting a good tune out of the Beetlejuice thingy!
