Jean-Luc Pickguard Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 That's expensive for a bunch of Allparts bits that have been dragged behind a car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owen Posted June 14, 2009 Author Share Posted June 14, 2009 To be fair to the bulider, he does actually make it all from planks of wood. I was going to bid, but the bidding pattern looks...........er............manufactured. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamster Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 That's a lot of cash for a 2008 bass! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skankdelvar Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 Relic-ing looks a tad - spotty? It's an approach, I s'pose. If you don't fancy the bidding pattern, hang back. There'll be another one along presently... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Jack Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 I don't think the bidding is as rigged as it looks at first glance, Owen. The price had reached £550 by 23:13 on 13/Jun. Some shill bidding? Possibly. Then Mr. X bid at least £1010 at 23:37 on 13/Jun. That would have shown up initially as a bid of £570. Mr. Y then spent some time on the morning of 14/Jun testing that bid, and pushing it up in £50 increments until he reached £1000. Then he dropped out. The driver at the moment is Mr. X. If he's the shill bidder then he's running a high-risk strategy. I think it's more likely that he's a genuine bidder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redstriper Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 It doesn't matter what the bid history looks like. You decide the most you want to pay, then place your bid and wait and see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess that I can see the pattern more clearly now. I had not considered the "one huge bid" and someone else testing it theory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's obviously a lot of work gone into getting the bass to that level of 'relic' and the attention to detail is second to none. I'd love a '60s Precision' like this but I just dont think I would pay more than £700 second hand but thats just me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
