so this was an ebay purchase, $200.

It's from a company www.wishbass.com. The workmanship is a bit rough. The finish leaves a lot to be desired, but the maker admits that he doesn't spend a lot of time on the finish in order keep the cost low.

the neck is kind of chunky, but has no truss rod, so another cost saving.
the body gives access to the 24th fret (if it had frets)

I will probably cut the nut slots lower since there is no need to clear a first fret. Might also add a tone control since the single J pickup is pretty bright.

Very interesting. Unique, unusual, different.

You've said that the pickup sounds bright, and you'll probably add a tone control. How does it play? With the chunky neck and that really wide looking body, is it comfortable to play?

Always nice to have something in the collection that is unique.

Well, there's something you don't see everyday. It looks cool, how does it sound?

Edit: Woah, I just saw the part about $200. That's a score!
