£4000 if you work off the price that someone with one on ebay chose to start an auction on. Which really doesn't count.

My initial thought was what bass model do Ibanez make that costs 4000?

My favourite mistype is this one here...

Ah - important thing to note here. It was made by the luthier Ibanez before Hoshino Gakki took it over in 1929.

See [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ibanez"]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ibanez[/url] (quite an interesting history here).

Is it wrong of me to think that this actually looks more like a £600 average run-of-the-mill Ibanez? Where's the extra £5400 gone?

In addition to the Veasley, there are also a couple of Musician models retailing for well over £4,000.

Their high-end stuff is ok like the Prestige range (not my bag really), but I have to question why they feel that bass is worth 6 grand?? Save yourself the cash and just buy a £2k Prestige. There is very little difference between the two.

The daily fail can certainly pull up a good story & then fill it with nonsense! Toilet paper for your chin Mr Thornhill?

Blimey, this beats the "blokes dead but not dead" abandoned Vintage Fender Jazz yarn.

I hope they don't get wind of this on Talkbass, they'll be insisting the buyer for a fiver has a whip round for the bin men.

Why?

[waynepunkdude]

My because I associate Ibanez with Japan and san Francisco with LA.
