Michael, you are going to have a full on fretless frenzy! I fave a Ric FL and I love it to bits. I recently played a full 2 hr gig with just the FL, for me that was quite a brave move, but though I say it myself, it all went very well.

Nice job Bob, over 2K American for that... Too Bad Ted just missed.

I wanted it but could not pull the trigger on another bid.

Thanks for the big bid at the end Ted, it would have been sweet if you had got it and the bass was kept in the fold. All the best, Bob

Asked seller a question....

Hi, I am prepared to bid a lot for this bass, where can I pick it up from if I win it? Regards.

....We'll see if I get an offer.

We could bid it to the sky like when a scam auction of my 4080 popped up. Takes 2 people to jack up the price.
I haven't been following the thread, but if this is a scam I'm up for it.
When I notified ebay about the fake auction they did nothing.
I suspect the same would result again, but you should notify them anyway to be safe.

And this to "her" Yahoo account....

Hi, I am prepared to bid a lot for this bass, do you have a "buy it now" price? Where can I pick it up from if I win it? Regards.

Go after them Bob! That really sucks.

Is this one gonna get bid out or not? I emailed Ebay and they basically returned a form letter. I think it's worth.............1 MILLION DOLLARS!

kcole4001 · Post by **kcole4001** » Wed Dec 07, 2005 4:58 pm

I tried to bid $7,000,000 but then they wanted credit card info on anything over $15,000! Talk about protecting the criminals's rights!
I put a $10,000 bid in instead.

I now conclude:
EBAY STINKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
