What do we know about this bass? I feel like I've seen it here at the club before, perhaps briefly owned by a member? It says 34'' scale, but the bridge seems a little closer to the neck than normal, so I'm wondering if it's a 32'', which would make it very tempting for me. Anyone?

It is in fact a 34" scale. I don't believe it has been seen here on the forum before (could be wrong) but I did acquire it from Trevor Lindsey so he can also vouch for the quality and condition (and the 34" scale ;) ).

Thanks for the quick reply!

Appears to have be a mix of the original Essence with the extra stretch of wood behind the tailpiece, and the walnut accents in the neck that started a few years later.
Love that Koa!
