Very impressive.
It actually looks a lot more like a bass guitar than an upright.

I wonder what it sounds like plugged in, and are those the original strings?

I would rock it! Of course after I got over the fear of damaging it. I don't think I want to know how much it is worth.

That thing is a dream, would it be OK to play?

The neck joins the body at the 8th fret... not a whole lot of room there! It would be weird playing upright style on an instrument with a flatter radius similar to an electric bass.
