This seams like a nice Bass, who knows make an offer free shipping? This was the kind of Bass my Raven was on the look out when hunting for my first Alembic.  
 
    Easy my Raven, you have your mission, do not stray. Easy now.

I think that is this bass listed in the For Sale section.

Might be, he posted 1/2 hour after I did.
Best of luck to him or both of them whichever it may be.
