yeah, saw that. kinda questionable provenance on the paint job.  if all white's your thing.  me, not so much.  if it's a maple core which i suspect it is, then it's probably nice and snappy.  as is the price.  losta high asking prices on rrevverb all of a sudden, i gues a high tide floats all the boats the same.  good luck to all!

Interesting. It looks to be the same one listed on Reverb at a retail shop in Maryland a month or so back. Someone bought it, and posted this thread on Talkbass-

I guess it didn't work out.

I can attest that an all maple is nice crisp and snappy, with rounds whilst still having a healthy bottom end too.
