For something that's supposedly very rare, these come up about every three or four months. I don't recall seeing any one actually sell for more than about $800.

Uwe has his solid red piezo Explorer, he's resisted buying this finish every time it's mentioned. Maybe you'll wear him down eventually.

If those basses were great otherwise maybe yes, but they are unfortunately not. Any Victory creams them into the ground. That said, I'm gonna play one for the next rehearsal, about time it gets some fresh air!
