Here's another one. For some reason, its headstock matches the body of the first

Look what I found and guess what it is… Opinions on looks are equally welcome.

It is an albino fretless bass minus the pink ears. Bit of a mockup film-set prop. Probably originated from Aliexpress. Destined to be part of LeoThunder 's ever growing bass collection. Current bid EUR 25,80.

I wonder if I should put pink tuners on it…

You can't beat that in terms of "ugly" Yes I can! I guess I hate pointy guitars/basses.

LeoThunder Actually I was going to suggest chopping off the headstock to make it fit inside your spare gig-bag more easily. Das ware praktischer, Nein?

White pickups, knobs and strings do exist. Bridge, string tree and tuners however....

In the ebay listing there are close ups of the fretboard. It looks like the whiteness is just strips of tape. Maybe the bass had frets at one time. The whole things says problem child to me but we will learn more when LeoThunder receives it next week!

It looks painted to me. There are small cracks at various angles across the fingerboard. I don't like the idea of an Ibanez with a Fender neck, though. And the seller won't send it, so…

You could be right about the paint, Leo. The seller's photographs are not great and there is little in the description. This is one to avoid.

When you consider that you can buy a new bass in Germany for the same money it does seem a little excessive.
