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.

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.

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....

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.
