I don’t know why they won’t load. If you touch the arrow and click view the pic should open. Any suggestions?

Are you clicking on the little "image" icon, when you post, to upload/insert each image? Accepted file formats for that are png, jpg, jpeg, jpe, and gif.

Yours appear, for some reason, to have uploaded as "webp" or HTML files -- when I click on the arrow, it downloads the file to my computer (might be my settings -- you might be able just to open it up in a new tab), but I am able to view the photos clearly, then.

Looks like a nice bass -- is that a Nordie Big Blade Man pickup? Good luck with the sale!

Here you go -- I just right-clicked on each of the files in your OP and copied the address, then pasted that in the "Image URL" field of the dialog box (that pops up when you click the "image" icon at the top of the posting window) that I mentioned before.

Cool -- I haven't played that particular Nordie pickup -- and I don't know what specific Nordie preamp is in your bass (below references a dual-pickup setup, while yours is a single -- though I think a coil-tap wouldn't be hard to set up with this pickup -- best to check with Nordstrand, though) -- but you might find the following, from the Nordstrand Big Blade Man page, interesting:

History: This pickup’s blueprint is Carey’s take on the highly praised and nowadays rarely seen Wal® Bass Pickup. It is a simpler, more hands on design whose monstrous tone is easy to manipulate and shape to fit any player’s own personal style. The birth of the Big Blade Man was catalyzed by a conversation with Tool’s Justin Chancellor.* Through using Justin’s famous tone as a base for shaping the pickup’s sonic character, Carey was able to come up with a design combining the Nordstrand aesthetic with Justin’s edgy and powerful bass lines. Essentially, through using the power we have discovered within the prospects of our various blade designs, Carey attempted to Nordify a few details within Justin’s sound. Many would agree that he did a damn good job. Try one today!

*The JC-3b preamp is specifically configured to work with the Dual Big BladeMan pickups in a manner that brings out the edgy penetrating mids and high end character so widely recognized as essential to Justin’s iconic tone. We use a 500k volume pot and the common side of the blend pot is left ungrounded. Also, we have trim pots mounted for each pickups that allow one to balance (turn down) the series output to the parallel output. With all of these tweaks, the JC 3 band preamp, when combined with the Dual Big BladeMan pickups provides a rarefied degree of versatility, delivering everything from the mid forward grindy presence of classic JC tone to a super fat, wide, and deep modern sound with loads of punch.

*Any reference on this website to Wahl®, Tool, or Justin Chancellor, or services related to such person or organization, does not constitute or imply the endorsement or recommendation.​

I bought this from the original owner and had it listed here in 2019. Awesome, awesome bass. The neck is killer. Sounds great. That pickup works well for a P. My old listing has a ton of spec info that I got from the first owner and from Hammersmith. If I had any need I would buy this back, but someone will be very happy with this bass. GLWTS!
