Trust me they are not overpriced - I've tried one myself and was absolutely amazed at the quality and attention to detail. Absolutely top notch construction, great feel and really comfortable to play. I couldn't fault it anywhere. Up there with the best luithers you can think of. As far as I know they are Italian made which explains why they are not so well known in the states.

Tone is of course subjective but they tend to sound very organic and not sterile at all.

This is the very bass I tried: - Roberto's own bass actually, from the man himself when he was over in Malta.
 
I used to think the same as Hopper, but as I progressed as a bass player and a musician, I found there were certain things I couldn't achieve due to physical limitations of most stock instruments. That led me to try lots of different basses. Once I started trying more expensive basses (in particular, W&T basses) I started to appreciate the extra work that goes into them and the exceptional feel that these basses have over stock Fender's and the like. Don't get me wrong, I love a good Fender, but for me, the feel, playability, versatility and sound of W&T basses more than justifies the price tag to me.

Two average factory made US Fender basses? Or one exceptionally made W&T bass? Same overall cost, but I know which option I'd rather have.
