Seem to remember reading on here somewhere that the bids kinda ping between competiting bidders in almost micro seconds. So, if Mr/Mrs/Miss/Ms X upped the anti 2 secs before the end and the ping ran out of time when it was on their automated bid, even if neither had reached their highest bid, that's where it ends. Only thing that explains it to me. C'est la bloody vie. Karl. Edit. Are 53 year olds allowed Explorers/Destroyers anyway?

What's a brain ?

Was winning with 2 secs to go with lost out to £203???? which was considerably less than my max bid. Where's that bloody canal, I'm going in . Karl.

Here's a bit about mine, with words of Jon included. (Bassassin) [url="http://flatericbassandguitar.blogspot.com/2011/02/ibanez-2459b-destroyer-and-greco.html"]Ibanez 2495B[/url] Unusual range of tones, nice neck - like most of these things, a tad head heavy but nothing that can't be lived with. Good look in your quest! Cheers. [/quote] Thanks FlatEric. Think it may go for rather more than it's standing at . I must have had a Mark 11 Destroyer. Remember I ordered it as "the 1st one to come into the country guv" around 82 ish. Mine was a metallic purple/maroon, with a headstock that seems to be common on Ibbys now, certainly not the vultures beak from original Explorers. Liked it so much I bough a White Gibbo Explorer bass, used it for some 15 years then grew up and sold it for £400. God I'm a prat! Found the fella, even though it's a different(better) colour.

Nice one FlatEric, thanks for sharing. I would love to get one of the branded ones. Guess I wouldn't be too upset at £45 for one of these, but then £7 for delivery makes them seem very expensive compared to yours. Karl.

"For reluctant sale is an incredibly rare and hard to find Epiphone Thunderbird Elite. Last time you saw one of these for sale?" Er, 3 or 4 weeks ago, when the same bass was up at £750 (I think) starting price, and it failed to sell. . Karl.

It took a bit of work to get it road worthy again, but it plays wonderful. Can almost sound like a double bass using the "woofer", or, more growl than a pissed off Rottweiler. Still got two weeks "holidays" with the band, bored on a weekend now . Karl.

Nice one Dave, sure it will all go great. Enjoy. Karl.

Great strings and service, but perhaps I've been lucky. Karl.

Lot of stripping/nut/possibly neck, I'll give him £50 . Karl.
