I reckon what it is, is that (on my example for instance), the BiN would disappear once the bidding meets the reserve (hence if there's no reserve, the BiN would disappear as soon as there's a bid). Possibly.

Ah no, that's my eBay Fu. 😉

It's a bit confusing though, isn't it? I have things on ma' watch list that say "Don't wait - Get it now for £**." But when I click upon it, the BiN has disappeared (presumably because there's bids on)!? But in my example above - there's a bid, but the BiN is still there... 🤔

I'll accept the title of the 1975 funky original, or the 2018 remix / cover / sample-fest... 👍

Who? 😂 (I'd forgotten how good Rock the Casbah is though, thanks for that. 👍)

What? No it bloody isn't! 😃

Okay:

Who's up then? I've got a quick one ready? 👍

I don't think you're allowed to guess your own tune. 😀 edit: Ah, I see you edited to say it's not a question. 😉

Is it 'Papa's Got A Brand New Pedwar' ?

I couldn't spot myself either (though there were elements of truth in there). Otherwise, it's a blunt little tool, Clarice...

Oh, schweeet! 👌

Looks like the one I didn't buy... don't know if you can make out the wires from this:

Rather than "Meet the ex-CEO of Rickenbacker".

That Musicmaster is lush. I bet it looks great with blue jeans and sandals. An ideal summer bass. 🌞

And when it comes to clues, it might be etiquette to not 'google' for an answer? (I think that's etiquette on the other 'name that song' thread).

That's right, plus even if it is one's pet genre, an isolated bassline often isn't enough to guess the song by (depending on how melodic and/or memorable the line is, and how closely we reproduce it or not). As you allude to - I think the only way to play it, is to want it to be identified correctly. Rather than trying to do something that nobody can get.

Ooo, this is exciting!

Is it that song on TOTP where John Peel is sitting on a stool playing the mandolin? In the 1970s?

I've tried being nice, but it's getting me nowhere. Thought I'd try out wearing a leather jacket and spitting.

The Fender flats have quite a matt 'dry' feel about them, if that helps. 👍

@fleabag -- Is it OK if I hang around with you? It's just that Teebs and Skinny are a bit... you know, as above. 😀 I don't mind helping out with beating a few suspects etc. 👍

That's quite alright. I do the tedious technical / housekeeping posts, while you swan about the sections in your silk smoking jacket, being witty and fabulous. 😁
