I particularly like the strap holder on the back of the neck and the randomly sited fretless lines

All i can say is WTF and where do the strings come from!?

[Clarky]

I assume they are double bass strings

[Beer of the Bass]

I reckon the mystery strap button will be behind the 7th fret-line, as a sort of tactile marker to double bassists who are used to the heel being there. It certainly appears to have double bass scale length and strings. I think somebody couldn't afford a Framus Triumph and had a go at making their own.

Just be grateful that it hasn't been relic'd.

Half fretted. Half fretless.

[Happy Jack]

Half rubbish. Other half rubbish too ...

[ubassman]

I imagine that it would be a real buzz to play this there being no truss rod !

All fretless - those huge great things are inlaid lines. Built by someone with no sense of aesthetics or pitch.

[yorks5stringer]

Inlays are not straight either....

Or in England - we could probably drive the deliveries from here with that thing.
