This bass is still listed for sale ($6850) on Elderly Instrument.
 
The seller has no feedback!

...and it's a 3 day listing, and the starting bid is far below the probable fetching price for the bass.  Nonetheless, wierder things have turned out legit.  I think I'd be on the phone with Elderly Instruments if I had serious designs on this likely historical monster.

Jeeze, the doggone Elderly sign is still sitting behind the bass. This thing has a major methane release odor to it. Elderly is in Lansing, Michigan. I'm pretty sure the UK has not invaded yet.I gotta talk to this guy and see what he says.

I don't see the listing; I guess it's been removed by Ebay.
