1960's Kay S-1 Upright bass for sale

Asking $1700 CDN or best offer (I had a hard time trying to price this bass accurately). Bass is located in Ottawa, ON, Canada.

Positives:
-original ebony fingerboard
-ebony horseshoe neck heel
-Kay logo emblem on tailpiece
-inlaid purfling
-deep, booming sound
-solid player, tough and heavy

Negatives:
-2 tailpiece cracks
-numerous chips and scrapes and finish checking
-edges chipping and splitting in places

Recent repairs (by luthier Peter Mach):
-fingerboard shim (adds extra thickness and strength to neck and increases overstand)
-fingerboard planed
-nut adjusted
-new bridge with adjusters (set up for Underwood pickup which seems to work well with this bass)
-a couple open seams glued
-neck joint glued
-tailpiece upper crack supported

Comes with:
-Old beater gig bag
-bass stand

Feel free to PM me with any questions or offers. I've never sold a double bass before so if any info is missing, I'll do my best to provide it.
