Anyone any idea what sort of price for a 3U case?

No, that's fair does with ending the auction before any bids, I've no problem with that. If you fancy the Hamer and a few hundred quid to see you till you find a good 5er just give me a shout. I'm only really interested in your DJ as it is around 8lb in weight; I can bag a DJ from a guy local to me tomorrow for £600 but his isn't light enough for my needs.

Hi WC. I'm the guy who would have bid on your bass! In fact I was the ebayer who contacted you with the offer of a Hamer 5 string (I appreciate you are after something more up market than the Hamer).

TBH I'll offer him £600 and it'll be the equivalent of a bid of £660 on ebay by the time he's taken off the ebay and paypal fees!

Buy It Now listings of bargains or unusual items are absolutely a different matter and I regularly flag them up but each to his own. It could still be that when I bid on that DJ I am the only interested BCer but by the same token I am now potentially bidding against anyone else who reads this thread. I concede it is giving others the chance to bid on this bass but IMHO if they wouldn't have looked for it in the first place then why should someone else help them and in the process potentially bump up the price that I will pay.

Well that's just made at least a few more bassists aware of it... if anyone else was sitting hoping to bag it as a bargain, this thread may well blow the chance of that.

I'll subscribe to this to ensure that I never buy a 5 string bass ever again! You get 5 extra notes on a 5 string; 2 of which are very easily accessible by simply dropping the E down to D on a 4 string. I've now tried (at gig/band volume for more than just a song or two) x4 5 string basses and I've yet to find one that sounds as good as a decent 4 string when playing down to low D. I will now sell the 5 tht I have and continue to detune my four strings down to D for the odd song (who needs the notes below that as they are muffled mush any way).

[quote name='borneostyle' timestamp='1339704574' post='1693164'] Right, atoncer is buy and sell site like ebay. I use just to promote to sell my bass products [/quote] I assume that you've cleared it with the Mods to trade on here? Of course it could be that your reference to your bass 'products' is a language thing and these are all in your private possession!

Prices in $ and looking very much like a USA store... is that the case?

Pleasure dealing with Grahame; excellent communications and bank transfer payment was made immediately and the courier booked promptly. Enjoy the 12ver.

Did a blind (should that be 'deaf') test at one of my former jobs (we duplicated cassettes commercially and had to have a good reference system) with expensive hi-fi speaker cable, normal £1.99 per meter stuff, bell-wire and 2 core (solid) mains cable and there was nothing in it between the 2 core solid and the stuff that cost tens of £ per m!

I'm sure either this bass or an identical colour/condition bass sold on ebay a few months ago for about 50% of this asking price (I was sorely tempted to bid but iirc it was collection only).
