I've contacted the vendor, he's happy to let me have it for the BIN price, but I want to be sure it's a Geddy Lee, the bridge doesn't look like a Badass in the pics. He'll be back in Scotland on Tuesday and he's gonna have a look at the bridge. Wateroftyne was right, he doesn't know what it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately I'd forgotten you can't cancel an auction once someone has bid on it, so our mystery bidder gets to eat his amp after all! I guess I'll have to go through the bidding round.

RhysP Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 Why not just ask the seller if he'll take a photo of the back of the headstock? Or ask if there's any writing on the back of the headstock. If it's got the signature on it you'll know for sure it's a Geddy Lee model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinterMute Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 He's confirmed it's a Geddy, I'll just have to watch it all week and see where it goes to, I think he's quite relieved that there's a bid on it, he's expecting more than £400 now...

Mike Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 Wintermute - there's a name I haven't seen in a few years! Regards Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinterMute Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 Have we met? Been using the name for many years at MacRumors where I'm a mod, and it's been in my email accounts for ever. William Gibson fans usually wave as they go by. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 My apologies! How strange that I presumed, among hundreds of millions of internet users, that more than one person might use the same handle. D'oh!

Seen 'em go cheaper occasionally, but seen 'em go for more too, the cheapest price in the UK seems to be £620 from Peter Cook's without a case, so I reckon that's a good price.
