That's a nice price for that bass. They sound good. If I hadn't been going bass crazy lately I would buy it. Ed Friedland's review is worth watching.

..... really? That seems a touch high, custom shop or not.

Hard to say about the price. The Delgada is one of their limited edition line, it's built in their US shop but it's a regular model, not what First Act calls "custom shop." Either way, the price of a used US-made First Act isn't really established yet.

It's about half price of what a new one would cost without the custom color. It also comes with a flight case. According to the seller this actual bass is on their site. I looked it up and it is in the custom shop section and was evidently built for Avril Livigne's bass player. It's not a steal but not overly expensive either.

seems like  good deal to me since its a real US built custom shop built with a flightcase, just the case alone would be pretty pricey...
