Anybody familiar with Ravenswest Elitewoods bass? I saw this brand new on ebay 5 string, 5 laminate maple walnut neck thru active circuit. Sold for $672. I think it said Made in Canada?

I don't know about the Made in Canada part (im pretty sure they're all made in the far east & imported by Eric Bergquist in CA),... I bought two of them last year. There was a lawsuit regarding the headstock on a run of basses they did, and they had to liquidate them CHEAP.... I bought a 7 string ash bass and a walnut 6'er. I am happy with the build on both basses~ good cost/quality ratio, but by no means anywhere near an Alembic.  
 
Your best bet would be to e-mail Eric Bergquist directly~ brzcool@yahoo.com (mailto:brzcool@yahoo.com)  
 
You might be able to get one for less than the one on E-bay!!!
