Originally purchased (UK customer, custom-build) directly from (Scott) Surine Basses workshop in Denver USA

It's quite reminiscent of the original Yamaha TRB and JP-Signature 6's - the f/board is wide but the neck is very slim
It was ordered in February 2016 and completed on September 7, 2016.
Probably one of few Surine Basses in the UK which are highly regarded/popular among bass players in the USA
Appreciate this is a somewhat niche instrument (6'er+specs) so anticipate (hopefully) offers and/or queries via PM. I do have lots more close-up photos
