This bass looks like it has some stories to tell from the wear near the neck pickup at least. At the moment it's cheap for Europe and only a few days so it could be a bargain for someone to buy with a view to getting it refurbished. Certainly in the UK I have seen these go for around £1400 - £1700 albeit in better condition.
I don't read German so don't really know if there are any indications there about the condition of the electronics or anything else on the bass.
