There have now been two San Dimas-era Concert basses with the all-piezo electronics package on eBay recently, and the '85 is back up (must have been a non-paying bidder).

Does anyone have experience with these? My understanding is that piezos on bass are primarily useful for blending, and not for use all by themselves unless you are going for a fake-acoustic sound. I have a hard time picturing one of these driving an SVT to the breaking point...
I can't justify paying this kind of money right now, but down the line I'm going to want to get an '80s Concert. I had J0762 awhile back, but sold it when I went all 5-string for awhile.
