I searched for a sweet bass, but after just a few nights of rehearsal I remember why I stuck with electric all these years. My loss will hopefully be somebody's gain.
This is an essentially brand new Eastman
VB-95 3/4 bass. Carved top, laminate back/sides, hand applied varnish (ie not shiny). Very nice grain all around, and nice flame on the neck. Setup is medium, strings are the original (ie not great but serviceable).

Comes with a very nice heavy-duty bag, student-level German bow, and Schatten UB-10 pickup/preamp (removable). Email me (todd@nostatic.com) for pics, and tell me what you want to see. I'm in Los Angeles and can deliver a reasonable distance. Otherwise you'll need to cover all shipping costs. I'll take it to a shop to have them pack it.
$1850 for the everything obo. The bass alone is going for significantly more than that (eg here is one from a shop in Canada - $2800 for essentially the same package:
