BUT... there is a crack... (yes its a fir top, not laminated, with a crack) how bad is it? can you play with a crack? is it fixable? or do you need a whole new top?
The crack may already be fixed, if not, it can be. It may even be possible to be repaired without the top having to be taken off. I guess it also depends on the availability of a good bass luthier.
What's all this about triplex? Are they saying that the bass is all laminate except the top?
It still seems to be a good deal to me.

All carved, $4,000 up. Hybrid, carved top, laminated ribs and back, good European quality $2,500-$3,000' All laminated with real purfling and real carved scroll, ebony board $2,000-$2500
Looking at your profile, it appears you really need a bass. Under 'Current set-up', it says: "German bow".

I own a good bass though, I just don’t know who build it, I know it’s an all carved Romanian just no name who build it, maybe I just should put that there than.. it cost me about 3500 euros so that’s about right with your 4000 dollars. But I’ve seen fully carved one’s a lot cheaper. But than again good sound still equals good money..
Yes I know ,

That's much better Istar....we were really feeling bad that you were walking around with a German bow and no bass to use it on.
