Kerrang, aka the Warwick Fest Channel

Thats how i aquired my Zune, was having a sh*tty week, got very drunk & woke up the next day with an order confermation. Not looked back since. (even though the zune isn't a bass). Seen a few basses i like the look of recently, but can't really afford it, just glad my Seymour Duncans & my Badass II have turned up from the US.

I was outbid with 2 seconds left on that bass

That's that new thing they have on ebay which guarantees you win. Can't remember what it's called but it's awful. With two seconds to go, there's no time to put in a new bid.

There are plenty of bidding apps out there, that will allow you to submit a bid right up to the last second. Thats how most people are getting in with a win. I *think* there's one called something like auction sentry??

And there's me sitting at my computer with nothing but the refresh button and my wits.

I ninja-bidded my acoustic guitar with one second to go, auctionsentry is no match for my superfly bidding skills

My mate got a 5-string thumb, then promptly disappeared off on tour (he's a sound tech), leaving it in another mate's house round the corner. I might go and steal it while he's not looking, it's sat in the gig bag unplayed for 3 months!

So do these bid sentries basically mean that you can place a bid through that application and it will guarantee to submit it in the last second or two? No more sitting around waiting... kind of takes the fun out of sniping a bid!

I've noticed on Kerrang that its a bit of a warwick and Ibanez fest when it comes to basses, plenty of ibanez guitars too, and if its an emo punk type band its usually a fender p. When I went to the download festival a couple of years ago it was almost guaranteed that the bassist would be up there with a warwick or an ibanez, I saw a few p basses but mainly warwicks, probbably because of the brightness and punch you need to cut through a heavy guitar.
