    [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!

    [quote name='Rick's Fine '52' timestamp='1347744330' post='1804644'] I've been buying/selling on ebay for donkeys years and never heard of a sellers cap? I've sold things from 1p start price to £8500 start price, never had any contact from ebay telling me there are limits? I'm not doubting the story, just never heard of it myself. [/quote] Same here, wondered if it's connected to the sellers low feedback?

    [quote name='pjcarty1' timestamp='1347733178' post='1804482'] Just to clear things up. I wanted to sell the guitar on Ebay but they wouldn't upgrade my sellers allowance. So I thought I would make it clear in the item description exactly how much I wanted for the guitar and could any potential buyers contact me personally. I honestly didn't expect anybody who read the description to then go ahead and place a bid. Nothing sinister chaps. [/quote] It doesn't matter what you write in a description - if you put it on ebay with no reserve & a starting bid of 1p - what the heck do you expect people to do? IT'S AN AUCTION SITE PEOPLE BID THAT'S HOW IT WORKS

    So it was on ebay - [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/280966608520?nma=true&si=RMlvwmcSQ%2FvlKvDXCNRlpv0ruzY%3D&rt=nc&_trksid=p4340.l2557&orig_cvip=true#ht_500wt_1201"]http://www.ebay.co.u...e#ht_500wt_1201[/url] I got a message from the seller after I placed my bid - "Hi, I see you have bid on the Fender Jazz. Please read the item description carefully, and withdraw your bid. Thank You." Then a message from ebay - "[font=Arial, Verdana][size=1]Dear eBay Community Member, [/size][/font] [font=Arial, Verdana][size=2]The bid that you entered for the item ([url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=280966608520"]280966608520[/url]) has been cancelled.

    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

    Yes they'll fit the CTS pots fine ( & thanks Gary). Cheerz, John
