Wow too. If this bass is not a short or medieum scale it must weigh a ton. Look at the size of the body compared to the scale length !! I just wonder what this strange glittering surface on the hardware is ... or does it have a relief structure ?

A better picture.

Per the owner: "Some of the features include: Alembic pickups, hand hammered brass tailpiece, hand hammered switchplate cover, ebony fretboard and amazing tone."

I'm confused. Is this a continuation of the thread shown here:

Or did you see this bass listed somewhere?

Maybe, maybe not. This mystery gumdrop bass is being offered for sale on talkbass.com. Can find the link if you like.

Thanks Shawn; I found the listing at talkbass. I guess David has decided to pass this project on to someone else.
