Waterstone Skelly

Greetings!
I am mainly an upright player and already have a beater electric bass guitar that I am tinkering with, but I have run across a Rickie look-alike Waterstone Skelly for sale for $350 - and I'm wondering if there is any feedback to be found here!

What style of music is this instrument good for?

Is this a good deal (appears to be in excellent condition)?

I play jazz, blues, country/country rock and classic rock.

Thanks!

I'll give you the pat TB answer. All basses are good for all music.

I used to have one, it is a long scale bass, but because of how far back the bridge is, it is very comfortable to play. It has a bright tone, but a nice fat bass tone can be dialed in. The quality is not very expensive, and these are rare, but overall it is a very cool bass to have. Wish I still had mine!
