A quilt maple 20th anniversary is listed on Ebay. Their asking price is $3500.
I am trying to get info on scale length, etc.

I think I'm in luh. How much y'all figure that baby weighs?

How many of these were made? Anybody know?

The run was for 200, plus there was one production prototype.  According to Mica, all the basses in the run were built.

My 20th weighs in at a hefty 11.5 pounds - treat yourself to a well crafted, wide strap.
 
Although I consider my bass priceless, the above asking price seems a bit high to me. It's all relaitve.

Agreed; I could be coerced into spending that much on an extra-fine Series but 11.5 pounds doesn't seem all that heavy to me...my Small Standard weighs in at about 10.

I'm used to the weight, rehearsals aren't the shoulder breaking ordeal they used to be, the strap helped. The increased weight is substantial compared the Jazz I owned. For me, the greatest adjustment was the reach for first postion. After a few bone grafts my left arm is now two inches longer, keeps my tailor happy.  
 
My thoughts exactly - for that price, I'd shop for a Series as well, or maybe a pair of Exploiters, Rogues, or combinations thereof.

This bass (AM 031) appeared on eBay back in May, for sale by a private party.  It failed to sell at the $5500 asking price.
 
Apparently, the owner either traded it in at GC or they're selling it on consignment.

Sad to say, that's my old bass which I sold to a friend for $1600 less than a year ago.
