That would be my guess, but the description gives the impression that owner is quite busy if he/she is recording live albums, so you would think they might know what they're doing. Or maybe not.

Looks a bit battered for £1700.

Yup.. Mint they tend to go for £1800-£1900 and there is £200-£300 worth of refinishing there...

The saddles on my Lakland are similar but much less pronounced. The A is extended the furthest and the others are slightly set back from it. The differences between them are no more than 1/4 of a saddle width. This after a set up at the Bass Gallery.

I'd suggest the bass is probably fine and just suffering from a DIY set up.

That's a 55-94 rather than a 55-76, as such, much less rare!
You'd be better off keeping your eye on this perhaps:

Hi,

I'm looking at a teal 55-94 on ebay (looks a little expensive at the moment though)..

However the way the intonation is set worries me - am I being foolish? See picture attached..

I wouldn't worry. It just indicates the owner probably doesn't have a clue about setting up intonation.
