I think he's going to get to keep it at that price, it would need boomers to approach that value. Killer looking bass though...

Yeah...WAY HIGH on that price by around $1000.

I don't know. I'm not in the market,(my plain black B12L is just fine), but I don't think he's that far off on the price. Especially with the solid maple body and stained neck. Would look great next to the custom order green stained Chap I sent to Peter.

Really nice bass, but I hate the look of a light fingerboard on that. I agree that it is a tough sell at that price by a good chunk of change.

I'm sure that the price will drop after a few months though.

Knowing what I paid for my 8 string Chaparral bass in 1995 and what it would cost to have that green bass built, the price is reasonable. If I could afford it I would take it. Yes, used Hamers go for less, but try to have one built and buy it for $2200.
