But, I am afraid I will soon have about 6k into a ply that I can't sell for 4k.  |

Not for me, but if I were into the plywood sound and could buy anything I wanted, that one sure looks sweet. It's probably much better construction than a Kay, too. The wood finish reminds me of their electric-spanish archtop guitar line. A very pretty and unusal look for a bass these days. I think it could go for more than $10K.

I think about $4000, only because of the name. | I've seen and played a few of these Gibsons. They are rather thinly made and light in weight, and sound-wise they reflect that as they have a kind of bright, not-very-resonant tone. They are rare, which is about as much as you can say about them and the last price I saw on one was about 3k.
