Double Bass BSX Allegro site....for real?

[MuseChaser]

Was considering a long drive to check out a used Eminence for mid $2k, which is pushing my allotted budget considerably....then I found this site. Huh? Every one of the usual outlets (Musician's Friend, Guitar Center, Music and Arts, etc.) sells the four strint BSX Allegro for $2700.

What gives?

BSX Bass Allegro Acoustic-Electric Upright Bass Nutmeg Price 700usd - China Musical Instrument Co., Ltd

Zero regulation on ye ole world-wide-web. Mayhaps this be a scam? “If it’s too good to be true” … I mean, take the gamble if you want, but caveat emptor.

Probably...

The website URL certainly does not instill any confidence this is legit. I may be wrong, but I’d definitely keep my money in the pocket. Or as Carl hints above: it’s probably not a BSX.

But hey, you only live once, right ? - so if you feel adventurous…

If 35 of us pitched in $20, we could test the site's legitimacy at a low cost per participant.
