I'm not a specialist on these but it does look a little fishy.
Headstock decal looks like a vintage one, rear decal is placed in the wrong spot and the neck plate is blank with a neck plate pad. the control plate it touching the pickguard and also the pickguard screws are short by 1 and placed in a different pattern.

That Bass is 1000% bullshit.

Hahaha! That bridge is hilarious!

I am not a Stingray guy at all, and even I immediately noticed that the control cover is all wrong (among everything else, of course).

The listing has already been taken down.

That looks like an OLP MM2 with a different neck, but definitely no real MM and no original neck too.

The guitar itself looks like a pretty standard chinese copy, but they all come sans sticker. Passing it off as a real MM, via the sticker, is what keeps getting the posting yanked.

CUSTOM BUILT "RIP-OFF" GUITARS should be the subtitle under his logo... after scrolling through the page, seems like there isn't a manufacturer they're willing to duplicate....
