That Carl Thompson 'Halloween' bass ...

[Clarky]

... that was fleetingly on sale on BassChat a week back has appeared at the Bass Gallery for an uber-rich £9,900

Bass Gallery say they will price match though, so I might ask them to match the price of Squier 60s P

IIRC there's something on the interweb about it being special as it was made on Halloween day some years back. Would add a link, but can't be @rsed

I think it looks bloody horrible but some wally with more money than sense will probably snap it up

[BigRedX]

I think it looks great, but I wouldn't pay that for it.

I suspect the main reason for the high price is because you could take it home today rather than wait for 2+ years for CT to actually make one for you.

Its ugly enough to be used as a halloween mask, no doubt. Though it probably plays real nice

Where do people pick their prices from - i'm guessing thin air ? Think the seller might need a quick rubdown with Sensible Monthly

Is it a Halloween bass because it's scary ugly? Look's like a Ritter made it the dark by a blind guy's dog.

Someone should have had a bargain on here, then - it was listed for £8.90

Looks good to me. Looks like a Carl Thompson bass?
Ugly? Nah
Expensive - definitely
