It's nice. If there is anything you want to know about it, feel free to ask. I played it at a talkbass guys house. He was selling/showing it for the original owner. Sounds like an upright.

Not sure who's hands its in right now but was in Redwood City. Might have gotten sold and now up for sale again.

I remember when that was on Talkbass. FYI, the final asking price for that bass when it was listed on Talkbass was $1800 shipped CONUS or $1700 cash and carry.

This bass still is in the original owner's hands - he might be using a friend to sell on eBay. It never got sold on Talkbass and he didn't do further efforts to sell it. I just told him two days ago to try eBay. . . I've been talking to him about this bass for a couple of months, but I just couldn't pull the trigger (mainly because I have no money, because the nut width is P-Bass size, because it has no lines, and because I have two fretless already). This is quite a bargain.

Yea, it was a little wider at the nut. For me, it was missing a string. Not sure how good a RA B string would sound but still would rather have this in a 5 string version.
