I coveted one of these for soooooooo long and bought it the moment it became a reality. It's beautifully made and sounds great in any pickup mode, making it highly versatile. The roasted maple neck is a dream. Having owned it for a year now, however, it's just not really my favorite bass for any of the types of music that I play. It's in excellent condition with the film still on the pick guard. It has just a couple tiny nicks on the end of the headstock.
$2,200 shipped CONUS. I'd rather not ship internationally due to the costs and risk (apologies). I plan to post it to Reverb eventually, and if it lingers for a few months I may consider reasonable offers, but for now the price is firm.
Beautiful! I love that roasted Maple neck and fretboard!

I liked the amber burst finish better, but the maple fretboard won me over.
You could always buy both, do a neck swap, and sell the other.

I've joked about that but wouldn't really spend the time or money to do it. I would also be worried about customer support for a bass whose serial number didn't match the neck. And the amber in the burst is a bit close in hue to the roasted maple, so it might clash. And yes, I can overthink just about anything.
