Is this a mistake or a scam?

They say California in the description, mistake I would assume.

Could be a bit of a bargain depending on the reserve.

looks like a highway one.

Why does one pic have a bent-plate metal style Fender bridge and the other pic have a Badass?

This looks like a cash-convertors style shop so I can't imagine they have been swapping bits over... pics of two different basses posing as one?

looks wrong to me truss rod adjustment at headstock no through stringing and cant see serial number anywhere also non usa machineheads looks like a squier neck

Looks like the old Highway 1.

I like the "vintage" neck plate with a CE sticker on it!
