I've never seen one like that before....but I have an AG 3001 and it is an absolute dream. Quite heavy but a great little bass.

A re-fin, perhaps?

Looks like "Ruby." That color overlaps the transition between the 3001 and the 2030/2050 basses, so this could be factory finish. It seems that the 3001s had the body painted, but the neck only clearcoated as far as I can determine.

Well, it did not reach the reserve at $560.00. A bit much for my taste.
