Can you post a picture of the entire bass? Just curious to see the proportions and the look of the headstock. Very interesting bass.

Okay, more pictures.  I should also mention I can accept PayPal (regular payment for protection for both of us), add $63.  I am staying right beside a UPS Store in Chapel Hill.  I will help you ship it - meaning I will walk it over, call you on the phone, let you specify how, where to ship.  I will pay for the shipping if you PayPal me the price UPS quotes you.  Or (preferred) you can pay UPS by credit card while you are on the phone.

I believe you can email me via the forum.  Send your phone number so we can discuss.

The neck is very straight and the bass is easy to play.  Just a few minor indentations near the input jack.  No other finish marks that I can find.

I just got it, and took it for a test drive. It is smaller than I expected, a little heavier than I expected, and was blown away with those fatboy pickups. Super deep lows from this little guy, with clean and crisp highs. Was not expecting that. Very impressive!
