Annoying Twit Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 (edited) I don't know much about the Fanndec basses that are turning up on ebay, but this looks like hellava lot of bass for £128. [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=190903831461&ssPageName=ADME:B:EOIBUAA:GB:3160"]http://cgi.ebay.co.u...EOIBUAA:GB:3160[/url] Even if it didn't play well, it would be worth £128 to put it up on the wall. And we've had some comments on here that these basses are decent players as well. Edit: Except that as soon as I post that and check ebay again, there it is again: [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/5-STRING-FRETLESS-THRU-NECK-ACTIVE-BASS-GUITAR-CJM-FANNDEC-UK-/190911215387?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item2c7331f71b"]http://www.ebay.co.u...=item2c7331f71b[/url] Edited September 23, 2013 by Annoying Twit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Annoying Twit Posted September 23, 2013 Author Share Posted September 23, 2013 Over on the ebay forum of moneysavingexpert.com, they take some delight in pointing out shill bidders that end up buying their own item. It's [b]possible[/b] that this has happened in this case. If it was a simple case of a non-paying bidder, how would the seller know in that short time. It's also possible that the seller decided to not sell for that price even though the buyer was genuine. But in that case, why relist for 99p with no reserve?

juliusmonk Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 Cause the D and (especially) G strings are completely mis-aligned with the pole pieces? 😊 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
