No way to tell w/o seeing it in the flesh- some of the contours look odd to me. The square edge & the bottom edge of the uper horn, for example.
I wouldn't do it- there's no telling how much you'd need to sink into it to get it playable, and then who knows what it might sound like? Interesting, but not for me. if you do get it, keep us posted.

It looks tight on the headstock but the D tuner looks to be out past the E tuner, hard to tell with the glare on it.

Hi.

You know tis w/o seeing it? Are you the seller?

After his other comments, do You really need to ask .

While it can be a good instrument after it's finished, buying the hardware and installing it will pump the price well beyond other similar Chinese basses. That are sold complete no less.

With less fancy tops the prices start from around $150 AFAIK.

Not to mention the need for realigning the machine head holes, and who knows what other quirks there is.

Not in a million years would I buy that for that price, but someone else might. It's all about finding the right buyer after all.
