Overtime Bidding

Why did the auction closing time extend by 10 minutes after I placed my bid? This is called "Popcorn" Bidding: Bids placed within 10 minutes prior to a lot's scheduled closing time will extend the closing time on that lot an additional 10 minutes. This gives all bidders an opportunity to place a competing bid. All lots will close when there have been no bids placed within the last remaining 10 minutes.

Max Bid

Your Max Bid is the most you are willing to pay for an auction item. Consider placing a Max Bid if you don’t have time to monitor an auction. Your Max Bid won't be displayed to other bidders, but will be displayed as the current bid based on the bidding increment. You won’t pay the Max Bid amount unless another bid bumps you up to the next increment.

You can monitor items you're interested in without placing a bid by selecting Watch This Item after you've logged into your account.

Closing Time

This is the time the auction will end, but "Popcorn Bidding" could add 10 minutes to the closing time. If a bid is placed within 10 minutes of the closing time, the auction will extend by 10 minutes. This allows competing bidders a chance to stay in the race.

Pearl Jam’s Jeff Ament has hand-painted two of his new signature model “JAXT4” electric bass guitars, created in collaboration with legendary Northwest guitar and bass builder Mike Lull. Proceeds from the online auction will benefit 826 Seattle. Ament will personalize each ONE OF A KIND, hand-painted bass for the winning bidder.

This JAXT4 bass features Ament’s own “red splatter” design- a maroon-red paint for the base, with “splatters” in lighter colors all over the instrument’s body, neck and headstock. All hardware is chromed. Custom Jeff Ament hardshell case included.

In the 21-year history of the band, the JAXT4 bass guitar is the only musical instrument to have earned the endorsement of a Pearl Jam band member in the form of a signature model. The JAXT4 features a 20% oversized body, but thinner body thickness than Mike Lull’s standard T-bass models, along with a reverse headstock. It comes with a chromed metal pickguard engraved with an Ament designed T-bass logo, Jeff’s signature on the headstock along with a special Mike Lull logo designed by Jeff to be used only on his signature model. Included is a custom Ament hardshell case with a hand-stenciled logo on the exterior, along with a bag of a dozen assorted Ament custom guitar picks.

Jeff Ament is a songwriter and bass player for Pearl Jam, and one of the band’s founding members. Ament is also known for his work prior to Pearl Jam with the 1980s Seattle based bands Green River and Mother Love Bone, and is particularly noted for his work with the fretless bass, upright bass and twelve-string bass guitar.

Mike Lull has been working for 35 years behind the scenes among Seattle area musicians, building and fixing guitars and basses. Well-known both locally and nationally, Lull has a dedicated following of musicians, music lovers, and hobbyists. Known for his high quality work, Lull continues to hand build and test each instrument that leaves his shop (www.mikelull.com).

Terms: Please allow additional 3-4 weeks for personalization and shipment of the guitar after the close of the auction.
