To veer, Jack Casady used one. They are rare enough that I don't know what a fair price would be but I expect the bidding starts at $1000 USD. Search for Versatone might help or we can continue the veer by tagging @mellowgerman.

Amazing-sounding bass amps for both Hi-Fi-grade clarity AND the best sounding tube overdrive a bassist could ask for. Also makes a great guitar amp. If it's a "Versatone Panoflex" branded amp, especially in clean cosmetic condition with a clean bill of health, they are worth a pretty penny indeed! Partially due to the rarity and partially due to the names associated (Jack Casady, Carol Kaye, etc.)
It should be noted that there are different versions of the Panoflex. The one Carol used was the version with both 12" and 8" speakers. The one that Jack used reportedly had a sole 12" speaker, without the 8" speaker (but still with the dual, blend-able power sections).

That said, if one is just looking for that sound, there are other amps made by ACG/Bonham that have almost identical components and specs. These can typically be tracked down for well under $1k, though of course, there may be a visit to your favorite amp tech required.
