Anyone Know this Bass?
« on: September 07, 2008, 08:21:03 PM »
Kind of a cute little Stanley Clarke Signature.  I told the seller I need better pictures to raise my bid on it.  If I was very serious on this, no one would know I was around until the auction was over.  But I am curious to know more about it and may even decide I like it.

I saw that one on the 'bay.  Very nice looking quilts.  If not for my inability to justify expensive instruments to cover needs already covered by others, I'd love to own a pretty quilt like that.  Good luck deciding whether you like it.

Opps, I popped the reserve too early.  Silly me.  Well, no secrets on this auction.  This is not really my type of bass, but I like maple sound, and it is a Moe little bass.  (Moe = Japanese = cute).  If anyone has history on it, please share.  If anyone wants to bid on it, don't let me stand in your way.

Bass could have been bought with Buy It Now $3995.00, looks like seller will make out on this deal. Anyone know what average sell price on this would be?

I *so* had my finger hovering over the BIN button until *someone* killed it. :P  I was just waiting for a deal with my Essence to solidify...

I am one of the bidders on this item, but I likely will let it pass on.
It is a nice one.

Hey Tomas ...are you bidding on this bass?
I am not but I see a battle beginning.I'll bet this could get pricey at the end. Sure wish it has another string.
I think this is a drop dead gorgeous bass!

I am no longer in the market for a bass.  Good luck to the bidders on this one.

wtf?  Bid retraction?  OK, I was under the impression that if you were outbid, you lost the item.  But, bid retraction?  I just bought a BB and can't afford this anymore.  What a bunch of bull$%#@.  Advice?

Wish I could help... that is what I am looking for.  Only have my Hyak for trade (in the for sale & trade section).  
Devon, if you must have your bid retracted.

hrm, the first retractor bailed after chasing me over my max, then claims to have entered the wrong bid.  The second retractor claims the seller, who has %100 positive feedback, has very poor feedback.  So lame.

The one bid was retracted and the other bid was cancelled by the seller due to poor feedback by the bidder and no email as requested.

I can't really retract since I don't have a good reason in ebay's eyes.  *All* bids are binding, so thinking you lost and spending the money isn't a legitimate excuse.
