I was expecting the hatchet model for some reason... don't mind saying this is a cool looking bass... Listing now says "This listing was ended by the seller because there was an error in the listing"... probably should have been $750, not $7500!

A lot of you might not know this, but Stuart Spector made basses for Gene, and this is likely based on one of Stuart's designs. I was in Stuart's shop in Park Slope a number of times, in the Fodera-Steinberger period of around 1978-80- and actually saw basses like the 'Punisher." I will not say this IS a Spector design, but it's damn close to what I saw.

Or maybe it was the pic of that creepy looking dude holding the bass (which is no longer in the listing).

I was gonna post this as a new thread (Something along the lines of "Four thousand dollar Korean bass at Reverb") but decided to do a search first. Same ax perhaps?

https://reverb.com/item/836190-kiss-gen ... -very-rare

I think it's been there for a while, but I never noticed it before.
