Me either. Nice wood on the top. Kind of scary lines on the back of the bass neck, are they just scratches, or cracks?
I have NO idea what to do with those skinny stringed things... I'm just a bass player...

Looks like cracks in the wood or finish to me...maybe both! Strange grain direction for a guitar neck though.
You'd think it would be going moreso with the direction of the neck.

Wow, that is unusual. The pickup placement looks strange.

There have been at least two previously on eBay ... I think I bid on one but it didn't hit the reserve.

Thank God there are "only five left on this planet!!!". This is one seriously ugly piece of kit. Buy it and hide it.

You could try a two necked version of a Townshend...
