Dude. He said he was going to show the magnetic back. I wanted to see the inside. Cool bass. I sure hope he was paid in advance for making it. Absolutely stunning craftsmanship. Thanks, Scott for taking a trip to show it off.

[@BraindeadCRY]

I would not be surprised if Princes death had actually raised the value of this bass. Especially if someone else owns the counterpart and ist interrested in completing the collection. Just a guess on my part of course.

[@MidlifeRenaissanceMan]

guinness4life I kind of want it, but kind of don't. It's not me. it's not my tone, sound, ideas. I certainly would have trouble bringing myself to gig with it. It would be a sensational talking point hanging out on the wall in the music room. kind of makes me want to hit the bloke up and say "Make me a bass". I've got a mortgage to pay down first.

[@drock1383]

guinness4life dont prince usually play p basses? cant remember, but i would love to have that natural tele that he couldnt keep his hands off of....

[@PaulWilliamGibson]

If Prince had paid up front it would probably have been sent to his estate.

[@jochemjonker3362]

guinness4life ,it is already a collector's item,i think the only bassguitar,he ordered but never played,by passing away.I'm not into collecting Prince instruments,it's mostly about money and status,i like guitars to how the feel and sound.For example a Clover Basstard 5,i bought a few weeks ago. Beautiful bass,91,5 cm scale,broad graphite neck(20 mm spacing),Bartolini Soapbar pick-ups/Bartolini act.electronics,flamed maple body in transparant yellow. I think Prince would love this one,if he ever played/met one.

I don't know what it is about boutique fancy basses but to my ears the vast majority sound plasticky, nasal and lack the true warm soulful voice of a classic Fender or Musicman. It's weird. Superb craftsmanship obviously but the tone of this one leaves me as cold as the carbon fibre it's made from.
