Looks like it was painted with a Homebase wallpaper brush - by a crew of Bonobos

Nah, bonobos would have been too busy shagging each other to be able to paint that badly.

It does look like a fairly clumsy brush paintjob - the wood carving underneath may be a lot neater - impossible to tell with that paintjob.

It also is being sold as something other than it is. It's an Ibanez BTB 5 string bass with a really bizarre refinish - not a custom fretless.

I'd say it's worth about £120 for the hardware (assuming the preamp works & the tuners are the usual decent Ibanez ones - I think those bridges are worth a few quid if the screws and saddles are all working). Looking at the back of the neck, maybe an extra £100 for the body + neck combo if you check the neck doesn't have too many deep gouges in the back (and it can be sanded and repainted with no major issues).
As art I have no idea. £50?

Awful paintjob! But a real hideous look anyway!
What were they thinking of?

Never was a thread more aptly named. That fretboard though...

Nonsense! That bass is never Bleugh.

It might be Eughrange, or maybe Greughn, but never Bleugh.

It hasn't sold yet - shock horror probe
