Is this being sold by a member?

Gorgeous bass! Absolutely beautiful!

Wow...$1500 with no reserve. I am sure it is not going to stay at that price long. I have never personally been a fan of the MK shape. But, that one is quite nice.

Rodney. That bass has the 'newish' Balance K body shape. The MK originally had a standard point body. In this case, the MK is an indicator of the elecronics package, front and rear laminates and purpleheart neck laminates. it's a very nice looking bass.

Very eye catching - weighs in at around 15 lbs according to the seller - BEADG tuning

My back just hurts thinking about it. I'm sure it sounds like a beast though.

Studio bass anyone?

15lbs...That would definitely be a deal breaker for me...or a back breaker. Depending on how you look at it.

He's guessing at the weight; he doesn't have the bass with him.
