I'm the highest bidder on this at the moment but there's no way i'm going to be able to afford the final price on this so I might as well spill the beans and show you this beauty.......

Wow! The more switches on a bass the more I love it!

I messaged the seller saying Hi, he seems a nice fella - long drive from cardiff to go and get that!

Stripped-down Ibanez Musician.
Not entirely sure I like this finish but it might keep the price on the low side....

Not sure if these are jap, but cheapish, sandwich boy, 6 bolt plate: [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VINTAGE-KAY-1960-70-s-BASS-GUITAR-/221165530236?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item337e7e2c7c"]http://www.ebay.co.u...=item337e7e2c7c[/url]

My first bass was one of those - a KB-24, made in Taiwan and very, very heavy.

Anyone care to venture an opinion about his oddity?

Looks a bit like a Westbury Track 2 body but not quite - rather clumsy around the neck pocket plus controls/scratch plate are a bit more Star Trek looking. And 26 frets?

Bit of a bargain Aria Pro II - not sure which model, SB700 perhaps? - for and N.I. Basschatters.

If at first you don't succeed... keep relisting for more and more money?! WTF?

Still, cool looking Columbus SG bass...

I think this sold on eBay last week - unless that wooden truss cover is from Aria and not a make-do

Ah yes that's the one. Weird, so those covers are original?

Just did a quick [url="https://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&tbo=d&biw=1440&bih=779&tbm=isch&sa=1&q=aria+pro+sb600+headstock&btnG=#hl=en&tbo=d&tbm=isch&sa=1&q=aria+pro+sb600+headstock&oq=aria+pro+sb600+headstock&gs_l=img.12...84665.84991.2.87215.3.3.0.0.0.0.75.210.3.3.0...0.0...1c.1.TiKdh4A8YtM&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_cp.r_qf.&bvm=bv.41642243,d.d2k&fp=c31a5554bd61076c&biw=1440&bih=779"]Google image search[/url] and saw quite a few like this, handmade with one screw, so it seems to be a 'feature' of certain Aria basses.

Yes. Truss rod covers were originally wood ('79 walnut stain), being replaced by plastic circa 1980, although some of the higher end and the likes of the B&G range had metal.
