I have a Michael Glas German handcarved bass that I purchased over 2 years ago from a dealer in Mass. At the time it was around $6000, and since then he has told me that the value of these basses has gone up to 11 or 12k now. However, he has not sent me any documentation concerning this (tho i have asked him), and i am wondering if any of you can confirm this, or is he pulling one over on me?...I googled Michael Glas a while ago but didnt find what i was looking for. 
i would appreciate any info on this as i am not willing to fly with it until i have full insurance on it, and need some documantation to get that.

Here's a link to the bass I had: http://www.thebluestudio.com/smr/meister78.html
