Somebody really wanted a Bass VI

It doesn't look too bad

yeah but what does your guide dog think ? 

wow, I am sure there are state legislation that bans the use of those different PUPs on the same guitar body...

No, although it doesn't look too good either 
And a different colour for each knob!

Although if it works, I'd certainly be happy to have it until I could get a real Bass VI or a proper replica...

i've seen MUCH worse...

That's a Kapa neck!

They were USA made (Maryland) in the 60s, one of the last independents. They made some cool stuff, including some offset-types. They are often mistaken to be imports because they are slightly whacky Fenderesque creations.

I wonder what happened to the rest of it...

On a (somewhat) related note, here is a KAPA Continental XII. Notice the same logo on the headstock:

I was intrigued, so I did a search for some Kapas an dlook what I found:
from http://www.diamondstrings.com/inventor.htm
"a hybrid, we took an old Kapa continental bass neck and converted it to hold sixstrings, the 30" scale was perfect for a six string bass. it is an octave lower so you just play it like a guitar [ or bass] . the body is a new gold mettalic[ glitter] strat style . the strat style pickups are generic but they sound very strong. bridge humbucker is from a vintage Yamaha and the tailpiece is a massive stop tail style for a six string"

The images - we've already seen the first.
