Re: And I thought guitars could be expensive...

the 1932 Gibson Mastertone Granada Banjo (5-string) is the 1959 LP of Banjos.
the pre-war ,loar-era ,loar signed Gibson F-5 Mandolin is the 1959 LP of Mandolins.
the pre-war Martin D-45 is the 1959 LP of flat top acoustics.

and, IMO, the '50s Les Paul Standards are the Stradivarius of the electric guitar.

I think you may be mistaken...
I'll find more reputable pricing, but for now, the most expensive bass on ebay is sitting at $5k, while the most expensive violin is $6,143.

The strings aren't really comparable, either. You're gonna replace violin strings far more than bass strings.

most musician who uses instruments wants to use/own the "holy grail" of their respective instrument. now, how much is the holy grail of violins and how much is the holy grail of upright basses?
BTW, i'm not a violinist but they say you have to drop at least $10K for a decent violin
