"IT HAS OF COURSE DINGS AND DONGS" -- not sure I want a bass with a dong, much less multiple dongs.
"NICE OLD GREAT SOUNDING DRY WOOD" -- is he referring to the dong?
Agreed, Grabber neck, Grabber pickup, non-Gibson body. Looks like a mahogany substitute, so probably from an Asian bass. Amateur strip and spray refinish. Not the worst thing in the world. I hope anyone who buys it understands what it is. OTOH anyone who would pay that asking price might not.
