Hi Simon.  Note that there are currently two listings for this bass on Ebay.  The original listing, which started on February 10 and was relisted from a previous listing that did not sell, has a starting bid price of $3,900.  The second listing, which has the same pictures and text, has a starting bid price of $1,000 and appears to be fraudulent.

Thanks Dave, Yeah it?s the second one I?ve seen, I thought it smelt a bit fishy that?s why I checked it with you. 1 positive history, 3 day listing and a price to good to be true, a definite scammer! I?ve just checked on the auction again and it?s no where to be found now.
 
Thanks again,
 
Simon.
