Saw it yesterday....... Crazy prices

I liked Simple Minds but that I cannot see, however wonderful these "twins" may be, how they can possibly be worth that sort of money.

EDIT: Based upon current 2nd hand values for a Wal (say £3k top end, and ofcourse you can buy new for about £3.2k) this suggests the Simple Minds connection adds £4k+ to the price. Hmmmmmm. Oh well I suppose there are people that would find that connection worth paying for.

A couple of interesting lines from the ad....

I bought them because of their quality, sound, and ease of playing.[/quote]

Slideshow on this page appears to show Derek Forbes playing one of the basses which is up for sale.
