FS/FT: Roscoe SKB-3005 - Cocobolo Beauty!

SOLD!

Opening this up for sale from this thread: FT Feeler: Roscoe SKB-3005

And here's the thread where I acquired this bass: FS/FT 2007 Roscoe SKB3005

This is a great bass that plays and looks stellar. My problem? It keeps sitting second-string to my Sadowsky MV5. Despite it's great looks, playability and sound, I'm more acclimated to the neck diminsions and string spacing of the Sadowsky. I also find myself preferring the Sadowsky pre.

So...guess what I'm looking for? That's right, a Sadowsky. An NYC 24-5 to be exact (maybe, just maybe a Metro but that's a BIG MAYBE). About the only thing I can think of that I don't want is a 5-24 that has anything besides the Sadowsky soapbars in it; not interested in Big Singles or other pickups. I'm not interested in any other basses at this time. This would obviously be a transaction requiring the addition of cash on my end (unless we went the Metro route, of course).

As for cash price? I'd like to get $2200 shipped CONUS only (or best reasonable offer) through a fee-less payment but I'm open to discussion regarding exact payment method.

The specs:
Model: 2007 SKB-3005
Top: Exhibition Grade Cocobolo
Body: Spanish Cedar
Finish: Natural Gloss
Preamp: Bartolini 3-Way/18V
Pickups: Bartolini
Neck: 3-piece all quartersawn maple/purpleheart/maple bolt-on neck with single-action trussrod and dual graphite rod reinforcement
String Spacing: Standard 18mm
Fingerboard: Exhibition Grade Cocobolo, Fretted
12th Fret Inlay: Standard
Nut: Diamondwood
Hardware: Black
Case: OEM Hardshell
Weight: 9.2 lbs on the bathroom scale

Worth mentioning:
Pickups show some string wear
Small ding on the top by where your forearm rests
Tuner for the A-string has abrasion along one side
Slight wear visible on the bridge
Original knobs replaced with cocobolo knobs - originals retained and bass will ship with both included
