After reviewing all 21 pages I have concluded the following description would be the only TB certified acceptable copy:

“Electric bass guitar with strings and magnetic pickups. Makes typical but non descriptive bass guitar noises when plugged in and amplified. It is painted a color with typical but non descriptive paint. It has been played by me in the past but it still works. Four metal strings. - take it or leave it.”

Sounds very much like a Chinese knockoff. I was, however, captivated by the notion of “magical strings.” I’m sold on those and want to see if they have any on Amazon.
