The electronics and the frets are in excellent shape. The action on this guy is the way I like - Super low. All original.
 
Tonally, the bass is deep and crisp. Lots of snap for a great slap tone, and there's plenty of low end.
 
The bass comes in an Alembic form-fit case.  
 
Sacrifice for $2900

Received the bass about 2 hours ago and (even though I'm at work) couldn't put it down.  A truly amazing piece.  The photo above doesn't even do it justice.
Cameron, thank you again for the smooth transaction and for the record, I wouldn't hesitate to buy from you again.
 
Thanks to everyone for you kind comments.
