Would you........................?

[Dark Red Moon]

maybe, if I were 3 ft. tall stupid rich and REALLY wanted a 6er. in other words, no.

 

[gln1955]

There is absolutely nothing appealing about that bass.

 

[Watchootognbout]

It seems to me someone commissioned this bass.
Had it built by a Luthier.
And after it was built said,"Uh........ummm....NO!
(Car door slamming.Tires screeching)

 

[Spidey2112]

If I was rich and it was a 4 string.

Love the new avatar... just picked up a 4 DVD set of the DragonHeart series... pretty sure it didn't win any awards, but I like my dragons...

... and no, I wouldn't buy that instrument, rich or not.

If I had to make a list of favorite basses that I have seen in my life, including the thousands of basses I've seen on TB, this bass would be the last one.

 

[Mr_O'B]

I don’t think any is worth 10K, but at least if you buy a Fodera there is resale value!

 

[Kmonk]

I wouldn't take it for free.

 

[CryingBass]

I would order a Wal 6 fretless instead.

 

[Hounddog409]

I just saw this on Reverb.
Nearly $10,000.00!
Specimen Products Luddite Six String Bass 2017 Natural Macassar Ebony and Mahogany
View attachment 2789233View attachment 2789247

Although I like the Macassar ebony top,there's no cutout for upper register playing.
Skip the whammy and put on some Hipshot detuners
Still,I could have Stradi Symphony fretless and an N/S Stick for less that price.
Pass.

I wouldn't spend 3k on that.

 

[AztecViking]

I'd rather have the Stradi Symphony and the NS Stick.

 

[chip134]

Never.

 

[FrenchBassQC]

Non merci...

 

[The Rage]

To me, the only appeal is because of the vibrato. Maybe I can install one on my bass for less than 10.000 ^^

 

[tsheldon]

An interesting toy instrument with absolutely delusional pricing. Poor design (non adjustable truss rod, no cutaway, no body/forearm bevel) result in it likely being worth no more than the sum of it’s parts. If a no reserve auction we’re started for this I would guess $800 max would be the selling price.

[Aidenn7]

I get used fender american j standards put p pickups in them.. a few used ampeg amps änd cabs.. plus some pedals.. and other shît or the amôunt..

 

[jamro217]

Maybe the seller is counting on some dolt to be convinced it's the only surviving bass version of a pre-war Martin. Explaining the whammy bar would be easy enough to someone so deluded. Other than that, got nuthin'. After doing some mathematical calculations it became even less appealing, due to the fact that you could get a Marleaux Consat, a Ric 4003, and a P bass for the same price.

 

[Frank77]

No matter how exotic and awesome, I would never buy an instrument in this price range, even if I could. It makes no sense to me.

And this one in particular does nothing for me, at any price point. I don't find it esthetically pleasing at all. To each his/her own.

 

[InnerBass]

Does in come with a Macassar ebony bow too?

If so, it needs a chin rest.

 

[mongo2]

No freakin' way.
