This is a good bass folks. Nice, solid and full. It's also from our own board member "BBL"

Thanks Jim.

I'm only asking $700, but Ebay now won't let you set a fixed price without also accepting best offers (which tells the buyer you're willing to take less than the fixed price). So I made the fixed price $800.

Someone on the eBay community board described this as a glitch, but that was three months ago. I suspect it's intentional.

On a positive note, I was pleasantly surprised to learn that eBay's seller's fee for guitars and basses is only 3.5% (compared to 15% for Reverb).

I stand corrected. Poor recollection.

Ah, just learned how to set a fixed price without accepting offers (more complicated than you might think - thanks ebay).

Now set at $625 plus shipping to CONUS.

Thanks paulo.

I agree, and so does the buyer. Bass is sold.

Congrats!

Last night I was playing my tribute through what must be the seventh or eighth rig I've gone through since I got it, and it has killed through all of them. Every note sounds like this:
