The Spector Ian Hill he has FS was sold last year as B stock by Bass Direct (I was following it and clocked the s/n) at about the same price, from memory. His pics don't clearly show the small dings/scrapes like BD's pics did. Not implying anything untoward here .. its still a very nice bass ...but, if I was buying a resold B stock bass, I would be after more of a discount.
