Hey all, I've been thinking of picking up an MG 6 string, the seller wants 2500 USD, is that worth it? does MG make good 6 strings?

I used to live just down the street from MG in Manchester, and would walk by as they were working. They're sold basically right next door at Manchester Music Mill. I've played a few of them. They are quality instruments with I would say a unique feel. The ones I played had a lot of wood to the necks. I never played a 6 though.
Play it before you buy it if possible? Then make a decision. Especially if you have never played a 6 before. Good luck with your decision!
I’m so confused - at NAMM this year I spent a lot of time at the MG booth. They were amazingly nice guys and the basses were gorgeous, well built and sounded great.
…. But… I’m pretty sure they were all Italian. So when IronLung1986 says he used to visit their shop in Manchester I googled the company and… it says US custom made basses…??? Italian, British, American….??
Makes no difference though, I was thoroughly impressed with their instruments and based on the prices I saw at NAMM $2500 sounds like a good deal.

He's Brazilian. My wife said hi to him a couple times as she is also from Brazil.
