by my calculations that's $7806.42 USD.  I'd say if it was in the US at that price somebody might snap it up.  but - no LEDs, 4 strings and painted black would give me pause, mostly because i like the look of wood and built in LEDs on a 5-string.
but OTOH, it is a series II, minor detractions nothwithstanding and if it were on sale here for that price on reverb, my trigger finger would be getting pretty itchy right about now

😎
Been down...now i'm out!

Anyone know any more about this bass? Couldn't contact through ebay, looks like the person has a few basses for sale.
Cheers

$7800 for a Series II is crazy!   sure its all black, but it could go in for a spa treatment, refinish, and the new owner would still be WAY ahead!

Well guys,
you should notice that this bass is stock factory.
No refinish!
This bass was ordered that way with Alembic back in the 80ies.

I believe this is a local collection in person type of ebay? Please correct me if I'm wrong, as my german is not good. the reviews are poor for this type of ebay, lots of scammers on it apparently. I'm not saying this isn't genuine, but can't get to Germany at the moment to check it out, so hope some lucky fellow on here acquires it.
