One on eBay. Eddies guitars if only to see the pics. This bass is outrageous!

Looks overall very similar to a Shadow especially in those Ebay listing photos.
Beautiful bass!

I agree, Woody.
I missed a dead mint shadow months ago that went for $3400 iirc so given that, and the same build number, I'm perfectly fine with this price...

For the next 48 hours Ebay is giving 10% rebates in "Ebay bux" (which are redeemable at the beginning of each quarter) to certain sellers. This would have been a good deal if I had the $$$.

Yeah, what's up with that one? It looks like there's a glossy spot on the bass-side horn. I know these flat finishes become glossy in spots over the years in the places where the player rests their body, so it's odd to see on a new instrument. Maybe it's just the photo...
