[quote name='Mr. Foxen' timestamp='1348057675' post='1808591'] Tried clearing your cache and stuff. Ebay cocks about a lot with that. If someone has entered a higher maximum bid, it will just show as outbidding you by a bit every time you bid, because that's how ebay works, it doesn't go right to the maximum unless it needs to. Also listings can be madeprivate so bidder IDs are hidden, but I don't think it shows up like you describe. Edit: Also my currently bidding list constantly rearranges itself according to ebay's whim, sometimes it includes finished items, sometimes it doesn't [/quote] Yes you're right - but this isn't telling me I'm outbid, it's telling me to enter a bid higher than the current. [quote name='Ruiner' timestamp='1348060902' post='1808660'] +1 It would only show a bid from you in the bidding history if you have a 'sucessful' bid, i.e. one that is higher than whatever the current highest bidder's maximum bid is. [/quote] No it usually shows up in the 'show automatic bids' but this isn't. [quote name='Happy Jack' timestamp='1348063290' post='1808715'] Hmmmm ... that's not my experience at all. If I find myself bidding against someone who has placed a MAX bid of[b][color=#0000ff] £100 [/color][/b]but their bid [i][b]currently [/b][/i]stands at [b][color=#0000ff]£50 [/color][/b]then my new bid of [color=#ff0000][b]£55 [/b][/color]will appear in the bidding history while his apparent [color=#0000ff][b]£50 [/b][/color]bid will have become [color=#0000ff][b]£60[/b][/color]. If I then place a new bid of [color=#ff0000][b]£65 [/b][/color]then that will also appear in the bidding history (so everyone can now see that I have placed two bids) while his apparent [color=#0000ff][b]£60 [/b][/color]bid will have become[color=#0000ff][b] £70 [/b][/color](so everyone can see that he has only placed one bid). Sounds to me like there's something odd, either with your end of this bidding, or with eBay. [/quote] Exactly!

[quote name='Longmayyourun' timestamp='1348081184' post='1809086'] Do you think there's a bass player on the production team at the one show? Last week Pino, this week Mark King - great stuff.

[quote name='the boy' timestamp='1348042885' post='1808344'] Someone has an auto bid on it. Their max bid is higher than yours each time, when you place a bid they automatically outbid you. It will keep on happening until you outbid them. [/quote] I don't see how that stops my bids showing on the item, or the item showing in my bidding list?

[quote name='mart' timestamp='1348038162' post='1808283'] Presumably if someone else placed a (higher) bid just a split second before yours, then this would happen. But I can't see that happening very often, and certainly not twice on one item. [/quote] Yes that's what I thought may have happened the first time, but not twice as you say!

[url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=120987810706#ht_500wt_1201"]http://cgi.ebay.co.u...6#ht_500wt_1201[/url] When I try to place a bid on this I get a message "please place a bid higher than the current" or similar, each time I look back & the bid shown has increased but my ID is not shown in the bidder list? It's not 'normal' Edit: So I have increased the bidding on this by about £40 from when I first saw it bu my ID or abbreviated ID doesn't show in the list - I checked again - something definitely ain't right Edit 2: Even stranger - it's not showing up in my bidding list, so the seller has just had the bidding increased by an invisible bidder? Looks like something similar has already happened with the previous bidder making 3 bids but at least his/her ID is shown. REPORTED to eBay!

TI Jazz Flats for a Jazz bass - GHS Precision Flats for a Precision, simple, can't be beat IMHO of course

[quote name='SlapbassSteve' timestamp='1347419954' post='1800584'] Hi all, I've got a '09 Mex precision I've been modding for some time now and it's almost done. Plays like an absolute dream and I'm actually tempted to start using it more instead of my Jazz. Only thing is I've never had a tone from it that I'm entirely happy with. The original mex fender pickups sounded downright awful, lots of clanky mids and absolutely nothing else, so I swapped them out for a set of DiMarzios. The DM's are better, but now instead I'm finding them too dull, dark and muted sounding. So basically what is the most aggressive, ballsy-sounding p pickup out there under the £100 mark? I'm after that aggressive, punky tone similar to Mike Dirnt etc, but without loosing the bottom end like the stock pups. Difficult to explain really, sorta need the grit in the lower mids and not higher? I'm not sure whether I'd need a vintage style pup like an SD Antiquity II or something scarier looking like the Quarter Pounder series..? Cheers! [/quote] If the DiMarzio is as bad as you say - I'd say it ain't working right, or there's something wrong with the rest of your circuitry!

I really like the GHS best of all - [url="http://www.ghsstrings.com/strings/bass"]http://www.ghsstrings.com/strings/bass[/url] [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3d6lb0-VZ5Y"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3d6lb0-VZ5Y[/url]

[quote name='slystewart' timestamp='1347125767' post='1797254'] I have just started playing bass I have a Lakland 55 02 and have just changed the strings to Ernie Ball Cobolts putting the strings through the body rather than just feeding them in from the end..as the old strings were. I noticed as the new strings went through nut the E and B string seems to tapper down in size...this seems to cause a fre buzz on these 2 strings. [color=#ff0000]The strings seem to tapper down about 1/2 inch from the nut..[/color]...am i doing some thing wrong with fitting the stings thanks for any help [/quote] Which side of the nut? Sounds like the strings are not long enough to string through, you might be better trying them through the bridge, top mounting.

If it's a Highway 1 I'd say it's Satin Nitro finish, not matte - technically they tend to gloss up after a good polish, (not T cut or compound just ordinary polish), then revert to Satin. Cheerz, John
