Has someone tried to change the pup and botched it, perhaps?

The holes are where someone installed a scratch plate but he also says in the listing that it's been "updated" with new Vigier pickups etc... however the pickups in the bass are the original ones that came with it, unless he means the pickups in this evolution of the model are upgraded over the previous version (although that's actually wrong too, they're the same with a different casing)

My bad, I should have looked at it more carefully. But I need not to be spending money, so looking at stuff on eBay is bad for me...
