EB750 for sale in Holland. No pics.

Translation:
The interested collecter nows this is an unique chance. The Gibson CS made only 42 of these basses and only 16 is this rendition. Five of them came to Europe.  10.000 euros. There's one for sale in the US for 5.000 dollars. which is 3.500 euros.

10.000 Euros is hilarious - my Super 400 which was a one-off didn't cost that much. He's right that only a few made it to Europe (I always heard that it was only 3 rather than 5), but still ... The EB 750 isn't overall the stunning instrument that could command a price like that being comparatively "unvintage" as an only 1992 model.

"There's one for sale in the US for 5.000 dollars. which is 3.500 euros."

Of course that last bit was not in the advertisement, but added by me.

I think you're right, Uwe.

I didn't realize that many were made.

I've heard numbers between 50 and 70, so that sounds about right.

A store here in Sweden had one for sale about 2-3 years ago. Price was 1750 Euros.

He added pics on another page;

10.000 euro`s. The paper money would burn longer.

For that asking price, you would think he could take some clearer, brighter photos.
