I've tried a few times to make this 35" scale bass work for me. Isn't happening. So I am listing it with pics this time. I won't be pulling it off the market again. This was the Reacter that Chris Larkin showed on his website as an example of the what he can do when he is allowed to pull out all the stops.
Link to a more thorough description plus old pics from me posting this a while back.

The Reacter S range
Since the first time I posted this I had a couple very minor finish dings which were buffed out by GH Reno in Tulsa (he does great work incidentally). I can try and take a pic of the spots, but to be honest I am not sure I can even locate where they were after the buffing. They were very minor and are completely gone now. I had the wiring redone/cleaned up a bit by a local tech (still has the original Citronic preamp). At some point after the visit to GH Reno, the bass has acquired a slight finish mar under the bass knob. It didn't show in the photos as it is pretty slight. Not through to the wood. Probably can be buffed out also, but I've not done so.
For trades...
5 strings
34"scale
FULL 19mm spacing
Frets, I've got the fretless thing covered.
...and I would strongly prefer
Traditional styling (need a bass that won't get me fired from a blues/country pick up gig). Doesn't need to be a straight J or P clone.
Not solid red/CAR. I don't know why, but red bugs me.
Looking for things in the vein of Sadowsky, Alleva Coppollo, Nordstrand, etc.
All trades +/- cash as needed although I am can't add too much on my end. I just bought a house. Yay debt.
For an outright sale I will leave the price at $3000 since that's what I posted it for last time. Will ship in a basic hard shell case.
