Looks pretty nice... thoughts on the price?

Edit: I thought I had seen this one before... I found it on Reverb last year, and posted it here. :-)

It's a helluva bass! This is the 12th Series 1 that has passed through our hands here and it is easily my favorite 4 string S1 to date.
Will be doing a video demo in the near future.
It's near mint (other than a few small surface finish dings) and has clearly been pampered. No fret-wear to speak of. Super clean.
It was sold on Reverb by LowEnd a few months ago to the previous owner. Previous owner loved it but was in search of a 32 or 34 rather than this 35.
Personally, I love the 35" scale. My goto bass for many years was a Modulus Q4 so I am pretty used to the 35" scale.
