I believe this bass may have been listed on Craigs List Vancouver for some time with no action at a $2000 firm price (CAN funds I believe).  If the same bass, the owner maintained it was spic and span, near perfect condition.

The top looks really nice in the pictures.  So do the head stock veneers and the back and the cavity cover brass.  The truss rod cover is missing.  Hard to tell what's going on in the picture of the fretboard.
