Probably the least flashy one (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=230618193147) of his I've seen.

I love the wood choices and body shape, but not a fan of the cone headstock.   Good looking bass!

Tempting...

I noticed that the bass has a Custom SN rather than a Series SN... I guess because it doesn't have a Series body (no back laminate).  I tried to trade for a bass with SII electronics that also had a non-series body, so I guess there are a few out there.  I love my short scales and would like to get another Series instrument, but the clunky power supply issue is making me think twice.  A Blue Box would work (although I prefer to go wireless), but that adds another $500+ to the cost of the bass.  Hmmmmm.....

Re-listed.  I was giving this one serious consideration.  But after reading about  Alder's effect on tone (http://alembic.com/info/wood_body.html), I'm afraid I would be disappointed.
