Hi chaps and chapettes, Has anyone heard of a brand called Rainbow KF? I've come across a pretty good looking 6 string bass with Gotoh tuners and what looks like Hipshot single rail bridges, it has abalone block inlays and a few bits of carbon fibre here and there... all in a good looking thing! Not sure on the quality of the general build or how it plays/sounds. The seller is over 300 miles away so trying it out is not possible! Just wondering if anyone has any experience with these basses? Ta, Russ.

Just read that... sorry I skimmed over the ad! Shade too far for me, I'm sure someone will snatch it up. Good luck with the move sir!

Where are you located sir? This could be of use!

To be fair it's about equal of a 'crime'... someone buying legitimately to sell on for profit with the use of the OP's pictures without consent Vs someone trying to contact the seller to buy the bass knowing the auction has ended and been won by someone else. The only way I suppose you might have the morale high ground is if you did manage to get the bass you'd need to never sell it for a single penny more than you paid for it even years down the line, else you run the risk of falling into the hypocrite category! I suppose the REAL morale high ground would be yours had you of informed the seller about their bargain price and offered to pay him a sum more in line with current prices... Interesting debate though...

I do this on a semi-regular basis with lower end guitars etc. If a seller is happy to sell to me for an agreed price and I go and collect the item and give them cash and then I take the effort to restore/fix/clean up the item and re-sell it and make a profit the that's just business. Literally everything you buy has a profit made on it buy someone somewhere otherwise we'd all work for free and and the economy would collapse in a giant heap! The guy should of taken his own pictures and created his own description but other than that, he bought the bass fairly and is entitled to advertise it at what ever price he chooses! Gotta be on the ball if you want to snap up those rare genuine bargans!

How dare you... Bonobos are perfectly good raspists.

The price means nothing until the last few seconds... all the instruments I've sold on ebay have doubled/tripled the final sale price within the last hour of the auction.

Well what am I supposed to do with my £2.94 now?? How very inconsiderate of you!

£2.94 postage and you've a deal!

The ebay mobile app has a much less advanced filter... I've many a time made successful contact via sending a message that way. Sending any contact info via the main eBay website in nigh on impossible.
