That's a fair point. When Jesus left Chicago bound for New Orleans, he did work all points in between, but there's no way Tulsa was enroute. Highly suspect.

I was full of sass yesterday evening. If you're interested in that bass, I would send the seller a message and ask for a picture of the electronics or a close-up of some detail. Something that requires them to take an in-person picture, proving they actually have it. The pictures are nice, it just looks like they used a program to white-out the background. Could be innocent, could be cover. 

I get the suspicion for no feedback, but Oklahoma is home to a lot of folks with Hispanic heritage, and Jesus is a fairly common name. (it's 'hey-zoos', out loud... if you're not from there) It might check out fine if you have a conversation. It looks like a nice bass. 

I can confirm that the listing is legit. This seller bought this bass from me last year in June.
He did not mention though that one of the Omega tips has been repaired.
I contemplated buying it back from him as it is a wonderful instrument but I can't swing it right now.

The crack was on the right point if looking at the front of the bass. It did not go all the way, ie, tip did not come off completely. It was a clean repair and not too noticeable.
Here is the listing I had on Reverb so you can see.

If anyone here is interested, I know the seller would entertain offers near the price he paid.

I think the seller should mention the crack it in the add. It has some influence on the selling value.

The seller is one state over from me. I bet that bass weighs a ton with a walnut body! I'm happy with my short scale and in no need of another 4 string. Plus my custom has anniversary electronics so it would kinda be an overlap of my current collection. Also, this happened last time I was waiting on a build, started buying used Alembics because of my anxiety waiting for it to be finished..lol
