I have dealt with this seller several times before. He is trustworthy, honest and packs basses very well for shipping.

I'm on the fence with this one. Mighty pretty! But then again, with this economy, maybe I can find a deal on an new 5 string? Waiting for inspiration....

But so everyone knows, I think this seller is an honest, straight shooter.

The A string is wound to the tuner post from the outside. Perhaps just to get rid of a string rattle on the nut?

I deal with this seller in May 2008, a SC standard, when I receive the bass one off the backplate from the tuning keys was missing, from time to time I ask him,he promis me already several times to send it, I never received.
I payd him direct, and he never mention it on ebay because he is waiting my evaluation before.
Not a big deal but it is good to know.

Claude,
Interesting. He is usually quick to support his sales. I'd contact him again and stress his promise to get you the part. It is only ethical. He owes you that part. Do not let him off the hook.
But you are right, it is good to know that a person who has been a good seller to me(4 basses from him so far) can be lazy and uncaring of others. Still, my experience has been good.
