Apparently Huey's Sadowsky bass guitar is up for grabs on Ebay -

cool

But 3.000 Euros? Is a bass guitar really that expensive? I don't believe that a used bass guitar is so much more expensive than a new six-string guitar and Richie's signature guitars don't cost 3.000 Euros new.

No but we're talking about Huey's ACTUAL ex-owned bass guitar. Sadowsky basses are expensive anyway and if one of Richie's guitars came up for auction it would fetch a lot more than 3000 euros. Granted he is a more widely known musician but still, I don't think that the opening bid is too steep for such a talented and recognised bassist within the Bon Jovi community and on the global stage.
