I have seen this MK Signature bass on Reverb. It looks different than the other MK basses that I have seen. Looks like a sort of a hybrid between a Point model and a Balance K body. What's the story behing this model?

It's a 3/4 size Standard Point, perhaps comparable in size to your EvH.
$600 shipping? Do they hand deliver it with a bottle of Dom Perignon and a bucket of caviar?
Bill, tgo
That body is similar to my Custom Signature Deluxe only mine has a heart omega tail. I love the 3/4 body. By far, the most comfortable of all my Alembics.

ok thanks. The lower body looks so much smaller compared to a normal point. On this one the body almost levels the horns. Like the lower body is shrunk more than the upper body.

I think the 3/4 body looks better with the omega tail. Somehow looks more natural than the point tail on this model. I like yours!

Is this 34" scale? It looks great. I'd love an opportunity to check one of those out. Not like I need another Alembic but, man, if I ever rode the ride again, maybe this general idea with Series I electronics.

Instruments that have the tail/omega/heart omega option all use the same template for the body - the bottom carving detail is the only part that differs. Usually the three variants will fit in the same Alembic hardshell case.
I thought that one might have been an Anniversary model at first. Good looking bass.
