| | It is not insane to the guys trying to put together a completely authentic 60's Ludwig kit. That one looks to be in pretty minty condition. If you are after functionality, don't get the flat-based model. Get the 70's tripod model. It works great, is light-weight, and fits in better than trying to squeeze that flat base in between your other stands. |

| Currently there's a couple beautiful Downbeats in champagne sparkle, this one has the supra, the other with matching snare. Not all early 4-piece Ludwig kits are downbeats. The first one you listed is, the second one is not. For it to be a Downbeat, it must have a 20" bass with consolette, 12" tom, and 14" floor. They came with either a Downbeat snare, or optional Supraphonic. I saw that flat base stand that went for over 200 bucks. There must have been a couple idiots going at each other in the bidding. If I were to guess, I'll bet the winner was in Japan. I have five or six of them, and have sold several, and I have never got more the 100 bucks for one. |
