Pics are a bit blurry, but it looks very nice with a great price. Somebody grab this please! I was super tempted by the black, single AXY Persuader that just went on eBay. LOL!

That used to be mine.
Nice bass:

hmmm ... a statement like this I would expect from the original owner: Used for one recording project and it has sat in its case ever since.  
 
Do you know if this is true?

It was in great condition when I sold it in 2007.
But that's the last time I've seen it.

the current seller replied to me:
 
Absolutely 34 scale length.

Bridge and tailpiece do appear to be set a bit further back than on a regular Spoiler. As always, best way is to measure from the inside of the top nut to the top of the 12th fret, then times two.

I bought that sucker!
 
But more excitingly, I'm officially part of the club. I've been stalking these boards for, like, 4 years. The community here is incredibly informative and helpful. So thanks for spotting this beast on Reverb.
 
I wanted to make sure it was a 34 too so I did some snooping and found this.

Welcome Mike! You got a nice bass there, (a couple of them actually) and in a rare finish. Be sure to post some pictures in the Showcase section.
