How legit does this thing look?

G&L L-2000 Bass

"NO ISHUES AT ALL"
"THIS BASS HAS VERY LITTLE PAYING TIME ON IT"
"WARRANTY PAPERS UNFILLED OUT"
"Item location: GODS COUNTRY, MN, United States"

This is seriously my dream bass. I have been looking for this one exactly for a couple years. I feel like I finally found one I can afford... but I don't know how trustworthy this guy is. I have been scammed on eBay before, and this is much more money.

Bad speller but seems legit. Good feedback and has been on there for a while.

Good feedback score means nothing to me. When I got scammed out of $300 the seller had 500 positive feedback and had been a member for 4 years.

Paypal is good in most cases, but I have heard a few horror stories. They actually weren't even able to get my money back in my case. It was visa that finally resolved the problem.

I just am very leery about buying high end gear online. Especially after reading things like this: Talkbass Forum: Scammed

BTW does anyone have any experience with these? I played one about a year ago and have not once seen another in person. It has been between this and a stingray forever. I really just can't decide.
