That's way high. I was able to pick up 2 custom Europa Six's (one Emerald Green with Chrome Hardware, and the other with slightly different electronics, a flame walnut top, Crown Headstock, and Large Standard Body) for less than half that for the green one, and slightly more than half on the walnut one.
Come to think of it, BOTH of my Europa 6's, which were more custom than that one, came to about $4200, altogether, for BOTH. Not a good deal.
The 36 Scale isn't that big of a deal- at least I haven't heard that many people on the Club talking about it like its the dream option. I don't think the Flame Walnut Top is that much of a Custom Option, either- I'd be surprised if it added $500 to the overall price.
It actually looks more like an Elan, from the headstock.
Bottom line, the bass was easily worth that, new, but it's now 15 years old, and not nearly as custom as some of the Alembics I've seen on eBay, for around the same price.
Definitely overpriced. If it were $3200, or even $3500, I could see that, but $4200 seems a bit pricey.
It is less than the Elan 6 we just saw on eBay for $7500, though!!!
Doesn't look very custom to me. Beautiful bass, though!
Peace All;)
