[TheGreek]

Ideal project for somebody.

Alternatively, it's a complete pile of poo.

Your call.

dangit, that would have been ideal for the Ex-V.. Oh well....

Have a look at the last picture folks and never ever grumble again about basses in shops with the action too high. 😂

[Baxlin]

Looks like the body's sunk just below the pickup, judging by the shadow cast by the string.  Apart from that, wouldn’t mind having a go, but that’s outside my skill limits.

I don't think it's just high... It seems to be running WAY off the side of the neck... Look at the 2nd to last picture. You shouldn't be able to see the string from the back!

Bear in mind it lacks a nut or a functioning bridge. A £15 car boot project, but will be massively compromised by also being a wretchedly abused 45-year old cheapo with an unreinforced hollow body that's too flimsy for the one string it has.

Will be amusing to see what it sells for.

[yorks5stringer]

Should'nt the string be over the bridge?

[Bassassin]

Yes - should be a separate single saddle sitting on top of the base plate, with the string(s) passing over that . Can't quite work out what's going on here.

 

[TheGreek]

It's crept up to £62 - exceeded what I thought it would sell for.

[Bassassin]

And finished at £77.

Someone likes a challenge. And chucking money away.
