Stay the course, if you're a patient this bass will sell. If I didn't have one under construction I'd grab it myself. I know most of us would prefer to avoid eBay, but have you put it up on craigslist? With the Jaxed site mash up and running again, people for across the country will see it. I just sold a very expensive racing bike that way with the wheels going to a guy in San Diego and the bike to someone in New York. Both transactions were cash with each person knowing someone locally who paid and picked up the item for them.
