This was sold back on May 2nd.  With a listed 14 day return policy,  maybe it
did not quite live up to the hype.  Also, it sold originally for $1100.

My mistake,  the earlier one had a black dummy pick up. 
This is from the same seller.

The first post had the original electronics. In the second one, it says they've been replaced.

The wood grain is also distinctly different between the two basses.
