That's not very exciting. It's not your own is it by any chance? "This forum is for the discussion of Ebay auctions. Please do not promote your own auctions. If you have something to sell, please use the For Sale forums."

i was a bit confused myself

Nothing I can add to this section that hasn't already been said time and again but I'll say it anyway. Tom is a legend.
Thank you sir.

Is it just me or does the nut width look more like a P?

Yes I think it is.

Aw some one please buy this guitar.

Ah, I stand corrected.

Like Johnston says, it used to be that if you bid over the reserve price ebay would automatically take you bid up to the level of the reserve, but things have obviously changed.

Like Johnston I don't bid on auctions with a reserve that often either.

I also thought this was the case. I'm surprised it's not.

Now that is awesome.

Outshined I reckon you must be about 600 years old. You are without doubt a wise dude. When I say I was gonna make a cheeky offer, trust me it was gonna be very cheeky but by the sounds of things justified.
Talk soon
Mark.

I'm still a bit confused. If they are average bass guitars worth say £100-£150 each on a good day why are they being bigged up by the good Dr. Judging by his feed back I doubt he's the type of guy who would try and mug his fellow BCers off. I genuinely liked the look of the p bass. It was in my radar and I was going to make a cheeky offer. Thanks for putting me straight guys.
Mark.

I'm confused are these bass guitars awesome or sh1t. Is this a scam or what's going on here. I actually fancied the p bass. I was gonna make an offer but it seems the thread has been closed. Can someone shed a little light here.

Hi guys, I must confess I'm a last minute bidder. I used not be and I never won anything. My thinking behind it is, people are always willing to go a quid or two more. So if they don't know your max until its too late then you have one up. I wouldn't use an auto-bidder that's plain lazy, it also takes the buzz out of bidding. Bidding is like gambling. I used to be a spread better but knocked it on the head as its a mugs game now I get my fix on eBay, slightly more sedate with a lot less risk.

You could charge to see those pics.

Those pics should be in the gear porn erection section.

I'll have it Tom if it's still available.

Hi mate, it looks the business, but is it any good. How does it compare to the shure.

Dave is a good guy. I liked doing business with him it was a flawless trade. He is a bit if a whizz at the old bass building and knows what he wants.

Body shape looks like a Shine....no carbon neck and worth about £100

Amen.

Ah well the decision has been taken out if his hands so theres no problem anymore. If I bought a bass off somebody and it didn't turn up and then I hear it's back with the sender after a few weeks. I would wash my hands and ask for my money back. I don't think it's unreasonable. I know it's not our buddy's fault that things didnt work out but like I said earlier life's a bitch sometimes.

I'm always surprised when someone posts something along the lines ""62 Precision for £25...." as it's always the same with eBay, the serious bidders come in late in the day. The fact that this bass was £500 yesterday means - and clearly meant - nothing in terms of its final price.

Couldn't agree more. I immediately think why haven't you bought it you div until I open the link to find there's 9 days left on the auction. It seems pointless. Anyway i suppose reading these wild goosers keeps us off the streets or out of the pub so I can't complain.

I would send the money back ASAP. To be fair if the guy Latvian or otherwise waited longer than expected for whatever reason then for the bass to end up back at the sender, it's perfectly reasonable for him to say enough is enough. I know it's not your fault but life sucks sometimes. Take it on the chin pal. Fork up for a quiet life. stick the bass on here you never know.

That's more like it mate. You should definitely get a buyer at that price.

That decal positioning looks a little skew to me. I also thought fender put the serial number on the neckplate in this era. The shape doesn't convince me either, maybe it's the photos but this guitar doesn't look mmmmmmm authentic. I can't quite put my finger on it, but do you that slightly turned on feeling you get when you see a 70s p bass. Well I'm not getting it when I see this bass. Does that make sense?

Just a tad mate. That's not a criticism, I'm only trying to help.
