Yes, that's the right store and they know nothing about basses. I looked at two and don't recall which one had a string length of about 41.5 and the other had 42 inches. I was looking on behalf of a petite woman who wanted to move up from a 1/2 size but not too much bigger.
I think the store owner will be looking at this bass for a long time if he wants more than $4k for it. There may be scary things inside, too but it would be a nice instrument for someone. I made a brief video playing it so send me your e-mail in a PM and I'll send it.
