What a lovely custom bass...

Looks like that could only ever have an unadjustably high action - the neck's set flat, like a bolt-on but without the ability to shim it to tweak the angle, and the fretboard's only about 5mm above the height of the body. You'd never get the saddles low enough for a particularly playable action - and if you look at the bridge, the roller saddles have been removed to try & make it a fraction lower, for that reason. I also suspect that's why it's not wearing strings for its photoshoot.

Does look like whoever made it has some moderate woodworking ability, even if they haven't thought the design through. And I do wonder if that vast, ugly scratchplate is original, and if not, what routing disasters it's concealing.

Bonus bitsa points for the 70s round-end MIJ Jazz pickup.
