I bet you could still get it from Precarius for his price posted here:

Looks like the previous sale fell through and Precarius has it now on the 'bay.

I was wondering about that.
I actually put a few bids on it and the Sad thinking Mike was still selling them.

It's not so bad. I sold the bass to a friend here in Charlotte, NC. He buys and sells gear on E-Bay.I also sold him a Sadowsky.I'm getting older (52)and have had 3 cervical fusions. It was getting harder and harder to hold a 10 to 12 pound bass for an hour. This plus a TalkBasser who bought a Mike Lull bass from me had a case of buyer's remorse and filed a PayPal claim against me. So that money is on hold by paypal.
Anyway I bought a bass from a Luthier in Asheville, NC who builds light, ergonomic basses.
Here's a link to his website and the bass I bought:

Looking forward to getting it this week.
