I think eBay should charg a £10 premium on people using the words 'vintage' and 'rare' in their listings. This is the first time I have seen a 90s bass listed as vintage.

Well, you can say '1990s vintage' in the sense that it's something from a period in time before now. But if it's not very old using 'era' would've been better than 'vintage'.

Then again, the seller might be in his late teens - I've had students of that age call things from the '90s 'retro'...

That's our old mate [i][b]ashdigits[/b][/i]. He turns up quite often in the Japcrap and Rickenfaker threads.

I have no idea where he gets all his stock from, but I wouldn't mind having his contacts.

I'd try to weave "vintage" into nn ad for a P bass too . Get more looks, though possibly not more bids ..

Meanwhile:
"I love all the old classic music. Bands like Take That, that my mum used to listen to." Pixie Lott quoted in the weekend Guardian ...
I'm not sure which is worse that she thinks Take That are old and classic or that she considers them a band ...

Kids these days eh?

Indeed he does - and having doubtless offloaded a Hondo or twenty, I can visualise his nose extending & pushing the monitor off the back of the table as he typed this:

He should also be aware that insurance aint worth a f*** if the instrument aint in a case, this is true with most couriers.

Not so.
In a bass transport cardboard box, the type they get shipped in, is genarally OK.
