This looks like a Series I to me.  Series II basses have chicken head knobs in lieu of the switches for greater flexibility in tone selection.

Right, It is a series 1. That is what it says.
It is a series 1 with a series II neck 7 piece upgrade.

I think the actual eBay listing shows it as a Series II.

No it doesn't. It says Series 1. Look

A 32" scale on a small body would not be common. I couldn't say if it is more or less common that the rare long scale small body. My guess is even as a medium scale the neck dive will be pretty high.

Anyone know for certain? Medium scale small body Series I is kinda my #1 Wish List bass...though admittedly that's based on never having actually played one!

Yes, there is some minimal "neck dive", but it is not enough to bother me.

Here is a definitive answer to the "neck dive" question.
