Probably garbage but I can't take my eyes off this Galanti bass.

Looks like a 90-degree tab held in place by a pickup screw. Must be a owner-added thumbrest. Looks easily removable.

They are (or were) an accordion manufacturer and at one time they sold a lot of accordions in the US. They only made guitars and basses for a few years, and I'd say they were at least the same quality level as Eko and Vox.

If you bought it, one issue might be scarce replacement parts if you ever needed them.
