It's pretty badly underexposed, but I coaxed out enough to see they are Exploiter body shapes:

 
Maybe a Spoiler in the rack on the right? I dunno.

Thanks Mica,
 Definitely a bizarre listing...I'd love to have three exploiters but I think I'll just have to settle for the one I own and love for now.

If the five is a 32 bass, I'll go in with anyone who wants the other two for an even third...

Yeah, bizarre listing, and the description given makes little sense. I think if I put up 3 Exploiters in one listing, I'd put up better pics!

if it is legit, 6K for 3 exploiters is not a bad price at all. Bob, i would totally go in with you if i didn't want the 5 string also ;-), though the 6 string would be really nice also, but no money :-(

Well, I contacted the seller twice for a better description and more pics. No response. 100% + feedback, but STILL, put up better pics, darnit. Who am I kidding, I'll probably get 'em anyways. I allready got a Dragonwing and a 5 string Series 1, might as well add to the herd. Yep, I am NUTZ.

Rich,
 
If it's a legit posting and you can get all 3 for that price, you can probably flip the other two (assuming you only want the 5) and recoup a good deal of the cash you spend up front.  
 
Especially if these actually have graphite necks (?).... something about that seems odd to me- the timeline seems wrong.  We need some David Fung or Mica input here on the possibility of graphite necks on these basses.

5stringfreak

Yeah! Mica, any input/thoughts/feedback??

bsee

Well, standing offer of $2K for the five if anyone wants to buy these but doesn't want them all. This assumes a 32 scale length and reasonable condition but a few dings are just fine...

I can't find out if this posting IS legit.

Maybe his senior management laid down an ultimatum that entailed him having to list some instruments,
...and he complied with an auction few would take seriously . ( just a guess )
 
  He probably didn't count on Mica's mad skills in working with digital images. I'll admit looking at three Exploiters ,
 ( with or without graphite necks) has got me drooling .
