Patiently Waiting For The Next British Invasion
in the bay pictures, it looks like the entire bass is... crooked. diagonal. that metal stripe thing that goes from the bridge to the bridge pickup looks to be in the wrong spot... and the back just looks... weird! and crooked!
one time i saw a car driving down the road... the chassis was bolted onto the frame crookedly. it looked weird like this bass. gives me a weird vertigo feeling.
if i was looking for that feeling in a bass, i'd buy this one first:

Man those are some short tuning pegs. Looks like a couple of attempts were needed to get them to the point where they would turn without hitting the headstock, and alignment was not a high priority. $ requested is way out of line. At least buy some decent pegs for 9 G euros, I'd be afraid to see what is under that headstock sandwich. Mod for the ground strap too, bolt that sucker down! Let's pray the neck just isn't quite bolted down in some of those photos. Was white I guess with matching headstock. I like it, but needs a few issues sorted out.
Obviously pure gold whatever that thing is, buy, dislodge it, sell it for 12 G and use the proceeds to fix this bass!

If you can convince me there's a naked woman anywhere in that photo, I'll eat my hat.Yep, there's a lot of issues with that bass, but none half a scary as the reflection in the pickup cover on the close up body shot. I don't think the female photographer was wearing any clothes when she took that picture.
That´s right, and she got her nipples trapped in the neck heel gap, but there is plenty of room for getting them out using an hydraulic lift.Yep, there's a lot of issues with that bass, but none half a scary as the reflection in the pickup cover on the close up body shot.

Wasn't being a bass player already enough to protect one's chastity?

Thats totally not a shim. Nope, that's just judicious application of special tonewood

I think you stumbled on a great subliminal device to help sell vintage Fenders with ashtrays/covers!
The eBay guitar seller from (LA?) that shoots all his guitars/basses held by scantily-clad women is a bit overkill… titilation is all about imagination - what's not shown!

It's sort of different for girls.
The plus side of being a female bass player: You get lots of attention from the audience. Yay!
The down side of being a female bass player: You get lots of attention from the audience just because you're female, not because of how well you play. Aw, crap
/yeah, it's changing, but sloooooowly

Taking these two posts together, I have a new thesis. The entire bass is actually a security device, and that's where they hook on the gas station bathroom key.
