Well I guess it should cost no more than the Studio Birds as they are identical component & construction wise.

I like your optimism John. I don't think production costs will have any bearing - My guess is that they'll make 350 (if any), and charge significantly more than the new Grabber.

This is one bass where the original is significantly more expensive than a reissue, so they can actually get away with steep prices. Well let's see what happens.....

It is simple design and cnc technology makes this laughably easy to do.  Still Jules is right - if it is a "reissue" or "special run" they'll jack the price up so as to make the collectors think it something special.

No reason not to price this at $1200.00 but greed.  Even less when you consider a single pickup version.

In all probality it will be a custom shop bass.
