The
Storioni Bass Guitar offer was in jest by the way. Actually, it's been out on trial with a major Symphony. It needs a major restoration so the chances of selling it now is a long shot but possible. It sounds fantastic but will sound much better after it's restored.
On the
Mystery Bass, I hope to have it in a few months. Anytime this year would be nice but it will take what it takes and not a day less. I am not worried about the time. Before long, I will have the
Hart Bass to play for most or all of next season and my
Bisiach with its new Ext by Jeff will be ready in a few days as well. That Bass does just about everything so no rush on any of the work on my Basses. The
Loveri goes into restoration with Jeff when I pick it up.
On the
Pollmann, I have a beautiful sounding, looking and playing model at 18k. Arnold has a similar one with a C ext on Consignment for about 21k last I heard. The newer Italian models they make cost a bit more now.
Only you know what is best for you music and investment wise. A Violone is a specialty instrument. If you like it, get it.
