Hi John, Nice bass! A few items that will be of interest to most here will be:
What is the scale length?
Does it come with the power supply and cable?
Does it come with the OHSC, tools and paperwork?
Do you have more pictures?
Thanks much and best of luck with your sale!
Art

Hi Artswork,

I have everything listed above spare the paperwork. I will take some new pics and post them. Scale length is 34".

I have EVERYTHING but the paperwork, which when dealing with Guitar Center at the time, missing certificates and wood cards was more the rule than the exception.

Yes on the pics. Currently, the bass is at a dealer/friend's store. I will go there and take some detailed closeups tomorrow or Tuesday. That said, the instrument is in perfect condition

It's in Tampa, Rick. I will say that this has a woody warmth to it that I haven't heard in other Series Ones I've encountered. And my bassist has 3
of them.
