^ Exactly. I would say about $700.

No, 44-02D. (Deluxe) Add another $150 for the quilt and somewhat rare rosewood board. Is it MIK?

Just because nobody said it -- The Skyline 44-02 series are very nice basses. As Jim pointed out, this is the deluxe with the quilted top. Earlier examples would have Bartolini pickups and preamps. More recent models have the updated Lakland pres and pu's. I had a 44-02D for a while (Bart-equipped) - loved the look, fit and finish, one of the more playable basses I've owned. I let it go because I had another J/Stingray bass that was a little more aggressive and got through the mix better. I wish I'd played around more with the Lakie - it was worth the trouble and a very nice bass.

Looks like this one has the Lakland pickups. I would assume the LH3 pre
