Ken - Did you buy that UK f-hole 4005?

So I guess the auction winner was a shill...

Now I know why Ken turned into a music store!

Nice score, man!

Marc, that guy did that um-teen times during all the auctions he ran with that bass - no surprise!

It stunk of shill bidding. These are the worst people. It was reflected in the shill winner price.

Good for you, Ken! I hope you got a good price and I'm glad none of the other forum members bid.

Sure did!

Ken, I'm sure you'll be happy with the bass. If not, and you remarket it properly, you'll make a nice penny off of it.

You never cease to amaze me, Ken....lol!!

Congrats....now , when can I see this thing in person?

Actually Kelly, was and still is a stand up guy he was very easy to deal with and very kind,His description of the bass was dead on,considering the circumstances he made the endeavor very easy.

I feel Ive gained a new friend,Graham said basically the same thing about Kelly and his girlfriend "very nice couple"Considering what kind of response he was getting for the bass he handled situations very well this stuff tends to wear on you.The 5000 questions over and over and over....

We'll need detailed pics Ken! Way to go! If only you had it a couple of weeks ago, 7 4005s at the MARC.

Ken, glad you got it sorted, I was looking forward to playing it before it shipped to you. I guess we might meet at one of these US Ric gatherings one day.

I didn't want you to drive three hours thats ridicules,Graham lives a half hour away.

We will all meet one day at the mother of all Ric fests the W.R.F[world Ric fest] or the I.R.C.[International Ric Confluence]
