ESP LTD acoustic-electric Thinline -

Apologies if this bass has been reviewed before - but I've just started gigging this ESP LTD product and it's pretty amazing. Plays like a thin-neck electric 4, has sustain for days and sounds very acoustic. Actually had the audience walking up after the gig to see what it was. For the price, a really good bass if you want an acoustic sound. I got this bass to be my alternate for gigs where I couldn't bring an upright for whatever reason.

There's a used one I'm looking at - but it has a veneer crack right under the strings starting at the sound hole. Plays great... But I'm leery of the crack. Love the Zebrawood. How much would a crack in the veneer drop the price?
