Need help identifying bass on CL

Hey everyone, wondering if anyone recognizes this and could tell me anything about it
http://toronto.en.craigslist.ca/tor/msg/944276854.html
I'm starting to look for a nice bass (definately wasn't planning on buying one yet really, but you know the drill)

If I lived a couple of thousand miles closer, that bass would have been sold already!

Looks like the bass is made from plywood, but I can't be certain. It seems to be in tremendously good shape!

Go try it out and see if it floats your boat. I have a old German ply also that's been recently setup, and it's fantastic for what it is.

If the bass is ply, that's a good deal, on the proviso that it's in as good a shape as the pictures imply. If it's carved, that's an amazing deal.

Whenever I hear of a good deal on a bass - i.e. Craigslist, Ebay, Word-of-mouth. This is the LAST place I would ever say anything unless I've already gotten the receipt in hand...

I think the sharks are the lurkers. I sure don't think the regular crew here would pull a bass out from under someone asking for advice.

My "tone" which, of course, couldn't heard here was tongue-in-cheek as well.

ahah
if I knew it was a good deal probably wouldn't have asked
besides
I think I know at least a handful of the Toronto guys on here and would eventually see them with it if they bought it from under me :thumb:
