Fretless Thunberbird-ish project bass on the bay.

Made by a luthier, it says...

Sure it is, a not very compitent luthier but a luthier none the less.  :P

The pickup looks like a Bill Lawrence.
The rest looks like poo.

I'm wary of any seller who uses all caps.

That 66.7 feedback rating really inspires confidence! And I guess he assumes ( and we all know what happens when we assume ) that it must have been made in the 70s' because it looks like paneling from the 70s' ?!?

EEEEK!!!!

Sorry for the caps!

 There's not enough polish in the world for that turd......................but then again there's no shortage of fools out there. BTW it looks like the bridge and PU are a bit out of alignment.

That's a typo. It actually reads "Made by some guy named Luther"

That's because of the totally new unfair way ebay computes feedback scores. If you get one negative and one positive within the past year you get a 50% score. If you get 1 negative and 99 positives within the last year you get a 99% score. The only good thing is that once the negative is one year old it drops off and you have 100% again. I feel bad for the person who only occasionally sells or buys things things and gets a negative. I have about 300 positives and one negative given to me by a retaliatory seller (which is now not allowed either) and my score for two more months is only 97.8% which is not representative of my real feedback percentage.

You're right about the feedback rating, but it still dosn't help this poor thing!

For personal safety reasons, his identity should remain undisclosed I think.

If it wasn't for the bridge (and plastic vs wood/metal control plate) I woulda thought this was a Wish.
