I count 7 strings! I think it's somebody's idea of a harp guitar.

I think it was intended to be an 8 strng bass (looks like octave pairs) but they ran out of enthusiasm

Yikes!

[Bassassin]

I can't even start to understand that.

And I don't want to.

It was left to me by my late brother-in-law who was well known for modifying his guitars.

"Well known", right...

Maybe that's what it is - a tension-adjustable broad-position thumb rest.

Lockdown has a lot to answer for, and the media are now full of stories about 'mental health issues'. 

This (for want of a better word) bass actually comprises such issues turned to wood and metal. It's a cry for help.

I'm not even sure that I'm trying to be tongue-in-cheek here. 😨

It looks like something designed to play one particular song. I just can't imagine what that would be.
