I have one simple rule I live by: I never pay more for a bass than I would for a car. :shock:

I don't understand $15,000 basses. Or even $5,000 basses.

And, if you believe the description, this bass was originally built at a cost of over $30-grand! It's a beautiful bass, I'm sure it plays like buttah.... but it's definitely a rich man's instrument...

I believe the series II preamp alone costs well over 5000. Downright crazy :lol:

If I adopted that rule I'd probably start considering a new Tesla. :P
