Hmm, set neck, logo on back of headstock… maybe a shop-night bass?
Looks beautiful, wonder how much it mwaahs? Too bad my lotto tickets didn’t hit. The Omega, fretless, walnut with what appears to be oil finish. Mmmm mmmm mmmm

to be honest, at first look i didn't get as far as examining the pictures. got kinda befuddled by the fancy shop name with non-alpha characters prefix and suffix. what purpose does that serve, i wonder? but i digress. here's hwat i see - the serial number is strangely unreadable. looks like signature or anneversery alectronics. is it just me or do these sellers do nothing to clean up their fretless fingerboards before listing them? looks pretty beat, no case, some crappy gig bag, sale is final thank you very much.
here's my take - i am the proud owner of a shop night bass. it has a logo, an "SN" serial number prefix, a series II body, walnut neck stringers, a pristine fingerboard, stereo output and built-in LEDs. more like playing a cello or viola than an electric bass. mwaahh for days. here ya have $4750 for a set-neck instrument of questionable provenance. myself, i don't think so.

There is nothing questionable about the provenance of this bass. It is exactly what is described in the ad.
