[quote name='Evil Undead' timestamp='1348695350' post='1817172'] Hmm. I can see this is not going to be an easy choice basically I need to cut my rig size and weight down by a lot without losing much volume. I use a 4ohm markbass 2x12 currently which isn't that heavy for you blokes but to a short lass with back trouble who lives on the top floor it's very heavy [/quote] It is an easy choice - it's your back - your one & only back, look after it while you're still young get a roadie

I always thought that

The gear4music rack looks the same as the Chord, I did a review on the 5 [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/109562-chord-5-bassguitar-stand-rack/"]http://basschat.co.uk/topic/109562-chord-5-bassguitar-stand-rack/[/url] still in use & still as good as new, just a bit dusty TBH

This shows the 'spare' length above the nut on my AV '57 P - the A measures 70mm of usable before the purple silk [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v48/kjon51/Fender%2057%20Precision%20Bass%20American%20Vintage/22082011836.jpg[/IMG]

[quote name='apa' timestamp='1348222357' post='1810994'] Hows that for a niche market!! Im desperate to find a set of Half or Ground or Pressure (What ever you want to call them) wound 5 string set but in extra long scale. When I say extra long I mean a voice length of 38 1/2" or 980mm (Ball to Silk) I did buy a set of Status half wounds but they are too short by about 30mm. These are for a fretless. Or if anyone knows who can make a set. Status will but theres a minimum order of 10 packs!! Newton only do round wounds (Although they are planning on custom flats in the new year ) There is the option of extra long Chromes but they are about £50. I do know that GHS (My prefered brand) do the ML720-5 Pressure wound but not sure they will fit. I have seen thier ML3075 Brite Flats mentioned as extra long sets and in 5 string packs but cant find them anywere for sale. Help please!!! A [/quote] I don't suppose it's any help but - GHS Precision flats - say on the packet 38" same with the Black Nylons so I suspect the Groundwounds will be the same.

The head doesn't look right, I'm sure the machine heads don't come that close to the edge of the head stock on a real Fender

[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. And didn't they both come across as nice blokes?

[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!
