Zero feedback seller, and his first listings are four vintage instruments and a 1990 Alfa Romeo.

I'll pass.

The lettering on the headstock looks fishy. I've never seen that "signature" before

... and blurry... mind you, never been that close to one...

Gotta agree with Tom, but my word would be "beautiful..."
The random mind of a Silver Surfer...
If research was easy, it wouldn't need doing...
Staring at that event horizon is a dirty job, but someone has to do it; something's going to come back out of it one day...

One of those gambles once again. If I remember correctly that is how George scored that custom single pup cream bird that is now in Uwe's hands?

Might be that the seller has no idea how rare these sunbursts are.
We've taken too much for granted ... and all the time it had grown ...
From techno seeds we first planted ... evolved a mind of its own ...

Look at the signature on this one: http://pmblues.com/images/gibsonlpb.6.jpg

Looks the same to me.

I'm not saying the bass isn't legit, I just can't imagine buying an expensive item from a zero feedback seller who puts up several expensive items at the same time.
