I have no involvement with this bass.

Seen at the St. Paul MusicGoRound:
Serial # 82DFS2337. The store called the mothership and this is apparently a factory second; the bookmatch was not up to standard.

Medium scale.

It looks like a Walnut top, maple accent lam & mahogany body, with purpleheart (or walnut or mahogany) neck laminates.

The bass is very clean with no obvious flaws, except that the original strap button has been broken off and a new one added. There is an LED, but I don't know its purpose. There are a couple of missing screws on the back access cover and one on the bridge, but (according to the store) replacements have been ordered.

Original HSC (which I did not see), $2500. This bass was originally reported as a Signature.

I've attached some really dreadful pictures.

It is the same bass. I heard that it was purchased & returned, something about the buyer prefering a 5 string.
