Well, he could buy it from himself and really jack up the price to inflate the value of these...

what's this?

Looks like a nice bass at a fair price.

Lousy snipers have no chance to spoil this one shot deal.

Yes, if it were anyone else's, it would have BIN of $4000, and be shilled up to the reserve of $3500 minutes before the auction ends.

I have no problem with snipers as long as they are legit. I rarely bid until the last minute in order to keep from being shilled higher.

That one is NOT Jeff's, his Midnight Blue is his favorite and I think it would have to be pried from his cold, dead hands.

You are absolutely right .. that is not mine!!! mine is a 1990 ... that is my bass's twin ... and you are right I wouldn't sell my blue one for even $2000 or $3000 I own 13 basses and the guys in my band want me to play that one and leave the rest home ...

$1500 is a good price for that bass ...

With that jazz bass pickup in the mute cavity the hum is reduced and it has bite like active electronics ...

Hmmmm.....Ocean City, Maryland. I have a condo down there....

Let's see, do "buy it now" , call the guy and make arrangements to meet him in OC for the transaction. Oh yeah, take my wife along and tell her "Honey, let's take a long weekend at the condo in OC, just you and me for a romantic weekend"......then after we get there, "Honey, why don't I go out and get some groceries"?.....

Yeah, that should work.... ;)

Couldn't help myself....just bought it. I've been waiting and waiting for my Cheyenne II 4004/5 so this should hold me over for a couple more months (I hope).

Although I like the color, I would have preferred red or black but beggars can't be choosers.

Regards,

Paul
