I have a buddy that has one. If you ever want to get one, it would never hurt to ask if he's in selling it. I know he doesn't play it anymore.

And yes, it's crazy thin!!

That looks insanely comfortable to play. Wish I had one. Haven't seen one in a really long time.

Maybe, but from the one example I played, no. Keep in mind, the bass I played was from when Ken first started making them, with his funky layered, laminated construction, the very first ones that he hand built, the later/current models (that Ken has nothing to do with) are nothing like that bass in any way except superficially.
