IMHO these just don't sound that good. Maybe worth $4-500 if you're nostalgic for the 60s.

That is kinda cool in a retro way.  I'm actually not playing my hollow bodies much these days as they don't fit the band I'm playing in right now.  I agree it is overpriced.  No way they will ever get that price.  Still, it is cool looking.  I've never played one, so I don't know much about them.

 And that's about all its worth. Don't expect much from sound, playability or quality control.

Well, that sounds like a recipe for a bass that won't sell well, either new or vintage.  Looks like it's a wall hanging in reality.
