Default Ken Smith Black Tiger in CL/ Scam?

Check this out. It's suppose to be a Black Tiger selling for $2,500.00. Wow! Suppose to be brand new. Here the listing from CL in OC. I've emailed the seller twice for better pics without a response:

For sale a new ken smith black tiger six string bass brand spanking new my loss is your gain hit me up asap

Here's the link to the list:

Still no reply from the seller. I was wondering if anyone else tried sending an inquiry and let us know if it's really a brand new Black Tiger for a great price.

Lightbulb new?

It he bought it for one day, it would be used, no-warranty from KSB for 2nd owners! Condition is another thing regardless of how new it is.

The wood looks too light for Walnut and I hardly see any figure at all. It looks like Shedua to me in that picture which would make it a GN model, not a TN (Black Tiger).

Thanks Ken for chiming in. I may buy it, if the guy ever gets back to me. Great price regardless of not being a Black Tiger
