A 32" scale Specimen 1448 bass is gonna set ya back at least $3k. And that's the starting price. Call me cheap, but $3k for a custom instrument with a body made of pine & masonite seems a little much. Would you guys be willing to pay that much for a custom Danelectro? Than again, like I said, maybe I'm just cheap. I just heard back yesterday. A 32″ scale Specimen 1448 bass is gonna set ya back at least $3k. And that’s the starting price.

I'm going to email them for a quote on a 30" scale four-banger. Here's a pic of the Specimen bass & full-scale guitars alongside the original: <img src="http://www.hollowbodybass.com/wp-content/uploads/3classics.jpg" /> Thanks for the link, Pat!
