Find a dealer willing to order you one for $4500, and you've got a real deal. $12K is based upon a Europa six with maple top and back and an extra purpleheart stringer in the neck. No option there for five stringers. Also no option for a heart omega scorpion body which is likely to be more of an increase than the Balance K heart omega that I specced. Is this bass a deal at $4500? I have no opinion on the matter. bigredbass Senior Member Username: bigredbass Post Number: 1611 Registered: 9-2002 Posted on Friday, February 18, 2011 - 10:25 pm:    I wouldn't begin to try and troll thru the Quote Generator, but I'm with BSee. PistolGrip cutaways/Scorpion shape, knob peghead, heart omega tail end, matching quilt tops and bottom, I'd be stunned if you could even get close to $4500 new for a matching bass. And no, $4500 ain't cheap, but that's a whole lotta bass, and I think the price is in the ballpark, IF it's as clean and sound as it looks.

I keep forgetting that facetious comments don't translate well on the boards without the appropriate emoticon accompaniment....
