It's an experiment in weirdness that is only vaguely connected to the bass it once was.

Great use of words, Jack.

I think someone had their mad scientist way with a 90's ray.


Hey, at least I tried.

Forget about the metal battery cover... obviously it has an old style bridge with mutes! The "flea" bridge. That dates the body to around '92. From the switching, it looks like someone hacked the Sabre electronics into a StingRay but used regular SR pickups.
