Not something the whole word would want - you might get lucky

That bass needs passive electronics and a mudbucker on the neck! Good luck man, hope you will get that for cheap!

Well, if nothing else, you could always buy my Dean Rhapsody 8.

I played one of the Robelli 8-strings when Sam Ash when they were in stock. Not a bad bass for the money. The ebay listing is at about what they cost new, in case you were wondering.

Scott... you have collecting rules...?

So many basses... so little dough...

I talked myself off the ledge. I hate MM pups..................... especially by the bridge, we would never get along. Besides I have to finish my 8 string NR. One of these days I'll but a Hamer

I had one, sold it. Two problems:
Never could get the intonation right on the D pair.
SERIOUS neck-dive. Full-scale neck(with 8 tuners) on a guitar-sized body which is lacking a long upper horn makes for baddddd neck dive.
