Selling some gear to fund the replacement of my recently blown head

This is a Mahogany/Maple/Mahogany Stingray body built by TBr "TFM53".Nicely done,oil finish,very satiny.Straight routs,everything lines up correctly.It is mated to an OLP Mpl/Mpl neck with GENUINE MOP inlay stickers,truss wheel at the heel..I don't know,but I assume the elect. and hardware are OLP as well. Regardless,it holds tune,plays well,and sounds remarkably 'Ray-ish. The only issue I've found was the neck overhangs the pocket on the bottom/backside a little..I've had the bass two weeks or so,and just noticed it.I don't know if the EBMM pocket is actually smaller,or if it was a whoops with the sander..it affects nothing,and apparently not noticeable while playing..Very sharp looking/sounding bass,but as it's my newest,I have no deep-set attachment to it yet..

more pics..take note of the left side of pocket in pic of the back,it runs flush with the neckplate..the spot is just reflection..

Man...ol' Tom has that style down pat!!!

Yes,he does fine work,as you would know also! Which makes me think the OLP neck may be a bit wider at the heel than a genuine EBMM. He said he used a Stingray body as the template for this one..Still a nice bass,also willing to trade toward an amp..

Traded another bass for an amp,so I get to keep this one now..
