Is that a Macassar ebony series bass for under under $4,000?  If so, I am so sorry I am cash poor right now.

That is a real beauty.!!!
I want it!!!

hmm...if i had access to that kind of cash now id be all over it..

I don't regret my new SC by no means, but man, if I had not spent the money there, this was going to be it!
Beautiful.

I'm seriously thinking about this one. Is a Series I small body less neck heavy than a SC (does the body weight more)? If that's really Macassar ebony I bet it's much heavier than my maple topped SC.    I love playing my SC, but the neck dive REALLY bugs me.

Actually listed as a medium scale, so that's pretty unusual for a Small Body bass.
 
The top sort of reminds me of quarter-sawn zebrawood, but for all I know it might be macassar ebony.

I called the store: It IS a medium scale (32) and has serious neck dive.  The top and back are PROBABLY Zebrawood.  I'm not sure what's in the neck: the guy says it's too dark for Purpleheart but too light for Ebony.  I was going to pull the trigger if it was a short-scale.

It is gone.

Been swiped !
 
 LOL __ who done it ?

In Jim Carey's famous words from Liar, Liar it was me.  
 
I've been dying for a 4 string Series I. Medium scale should help me out as I'm a mid sized guy.  You recall I've got the 8 string series I which is truly amazing.  I need something for the other 3 sets every night.

Congrats Dennis. You will need to post pics once the bass arrives.

Damn, I should have asked for a commission on this post!  Nice snag!

Yeah Andy, you started my day.  I haven't been able to think about anything else all day.  It arrives on Friday.  
 
I keep looking at zebra wood basses but don't see any that look like this.  The back and headstock look much like Zebra wood, but the front is broader and darker than most on the club site.  Any other thoughts?

Congratulations Andy.  
I guess it fell into your lap (no pun intended!) as you wished.  
That is a beautiful purchase, and a quick one too!
Enjoy it!
