So...

The stateside SB-600 topped out at a mere $305, suggesting that the marque is somewhat undervalued over the pond - compared to [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=250154279380&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=015"]the UK version[/url] at a still quite reasonable £290

Also of interest was this [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=110162368669&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=001"]Primary Bass[/url] from Oregon that slipped by for $225 - I'd give the seller a medal as well for not using the word "Lawsuit" anywhere in the listing.

I resisted the urge on the [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=260149209748&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=016"]ZZB Deluxe[/url] & someone is now £140 lighter but much pointier than they were a week or so ago.

This week's sales are a bit thin tbh...

First up is this L*ws**t [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=250154279380&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=015"]Jazz[/url] from The Netherlands, sitting at a possibly very optimistic BIN of £193.

& finally, the poor old rubber [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=330160752925&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=014"]CAT[/url] is back again having utterly failed with a BIN of £70, this time with a start price of a mere £45. I'm baffled as to why this keeps coming back - must be at least the fourth listing. Doesn't look too shabby, especially for £60 delivered. C'est la guerre I suppose.

'ning,

The [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=190145324152&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=009"]Dutch Jazz[/url] seems to have failed to sell - can't say I'm over surprised, & hopefully the ever returningsome [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=330160752925&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=014"]CAT[/url] has actually been sold, to someone with a spare £71, & won't be seen again.

This week's a bit thin as well, but up for grabs is a rather nice [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=110166313811&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=001"]Fretless RSB Deluxe[/url] in Bassassin's favourite color at a not entirely outrageous BIN of £180 - collection from Bristle only though, Jon.

Gem of the Week could well be this [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=330161880960&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=014"]SB-1000[/url] with a Bartolini preamp. Currently standing at a below-the reserve offer of £102, I'm watching with interest. O.K, lose points for originality coz of the Bart, but gain several lots for the gorgeous grain. Same seller as the incredible bouncing CAT.

Finally a possible bargain a [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=300148885541&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=020"]1983 RSB Special-I[/url] in [i]my[/i] favourite colour, currently awaiting an opening bid above £25. I've already got one & they're little crackers - perfect beaters & a very slick neck.

Someone's gone for it. I have one identical to this, except that mine's a lined fretless (and in much better condition). No idea whether mine was a factory fretless or was done after, but I'd have to agree with what Bloodaxe said about the neck. This is a quality piece of kit for £25 quid in my slightly biased opinion!

Edit: Make that £28 quid. Someone got a real bargain IMHO.
