Well, IF it is everything he says it is, AND no one has botched/re-routed the electronics cavity (advice: I would request a clear photo if I were you and ask ALL the right questions), and if I am seeing a 3pc. body, I would say around $2.7k (+/- a couple of bills).

What $$$ do you think Ken would charge to replace the fretboard with a gaboon ebony?

Hmmm, it won't be cheap, however, I would suggest you contact Ken on that one. I gotta tell ya, given the condition of this bass, I wouldn't do it.

Looks really nice Jon. The core looks like walnut but not 100% sure from the photo. Looks like a 3pc. body....or is there a laminate between the core and top and back that I' not seeing?

Good question..It is hard to tell from these shots...I will blow it up at my office..

Swap, I can't think of a current 5 with an ebony board I would be willing to trade at this time. But, we can take this offline and discuss at a later date.

Great looking bass, it really looks like it has been well taken care of, I'm just curious but what's the asking price for this baby?
