    Washburn S1000 headless bass question.

    I have been looking for a Washburn S1000 bass for a while, and have found one for sale with its original case. The bass looks like new, with that glossy sheen on it and all the metal pieces. My question is - Is the owners asking price of $1350 plus shipping unreasonable, or what for a mint...
