It has the feel to it of starting out as one thing (weissenborn?) and ending up as something else.

 

[HubbardsFate]

Nope.

Nothing about that bass appeals to me; I wouldn't even be interested in it if it were only $500, never mind twenty times that amount.

What he said. Plus they didnt even work the headstock. Just a square paddle.

Mahogany and ebony body. I'm guessing playing it would be like hanging a boat anchor around your neck. Yes, an attractive boat anchor, but still a boat anchor. Not worth $100 to me.

Personally, I don't even like it on an aesthetic level, so it doesn't even have that going for it in my eyes...

 

[micguy]

I just counted...18 frets. Not that you can access anything above the 12th....

 

[Herrick]

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

Yeah if I were ever in the financial position to spend that much on a bass, I'd much rather spend it on a Fodera or something. The Monarch P looks and sounds really nice and it's way less than $10,000.

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.

Nope, I won't! With 10K I'll pick much rather pick up a nice all original vintage 60s fender jazz/P Bass that will only increase in value over the years! Not to mention all the other great Basses out there at that price range!
1.foderas
2.sadowkys
3.ken smith
4. Wal
5.F Bass
Etc.

No

 

[Lee Moses]

No. I like the wood, but that's where it ends. Problems . . .

1. The tuners look very unstable.
2. Short-scale isn't my thing.
3. The lack of a cutout limits access to way too much of the range.
4. It's kind of annoying when people think what I am playing is a guitar . . . why would I contribute to that misunderstanding?
5. For $10k, I could be looking at a Fodera, Alembic, Wal, etc.
6. The thing actually looks pretty cheap.

 

[Rip Van Dan]

The wood is really pretty but a short scale bass with a slab build, no way to play above the 12th fret, non-adjustable truss rod....just NO!

 

[Woodchuck]

 

[JRA]

i'm with most of those who have already weighed-in: no way!

it looks really goofy to me...and, i'm not convinced any electric bass instrument is worth 10k --- especially for cats who really play!

also: it's not fretless, it's a SS, it's got a whammy bar, yada yada.

 

[40Hz]

Nope. I'd go for a Wal if I were shopping for a bass in that general (as in + $5k) price range.

And I'd get the 4-string.

 

[wmhill]

not even if they moved the decimal point two figures to the left.......

 

[Element Zero]

 

[Deleted member 165050]

Very much no. Not my kind of instrument at all.

 

[Spent]

If I was rich and it was a 4 string.

It would be about # 10,000 on my list.

 

[TolerancEJ]

98% of my wish list fall well below $9600. Aesthetically speaking, the lack of cutaway is a no-go for me. Why even have the upper register included in the fingerboard? Use the space for a 2nd pickup instead.
