As the others have alluded to, 7000 bucks is quite a lot for a plywood (laminated) bass. The brand Georg Kerrman is probably a shop brand, just a made up name most likely. The very best plywoods go for 3-4000, and it's very likely that this bass is worth about half that at most.
From Lubbock TX it isn't that far to Albuquerque. http://www.robertsonviolins.com/ is one of the most reputable dealers in the country, and I'm sure they could get you a better bass for less money than that, superbly set up.
Unless the bass does in fact come with $5,400 of weed, then this doesn't seem like a good bet to me.....
Good luck,
Brent |

...fixed.
It is possible, that the seller was smoking some when he posted this ad.

He probably made a typo and meant to say $700, not $7000. |
