BigRedX Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 Just goes to show how different all our tastes are when it comes to basses. To me that eBay RKS is just horrible (and no wonder it's still not sold); greyparrot's bass is much nicer looking. If you want a natural wood finish there's far more elegant examples for view on the [url="http://rksguitars.com/"]RKS site[/url] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Burpster Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 BRX, its obviuosly a blondes v. brunettes thing..... Swampash gives me a semi thinking about it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yorks5stringer Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 IMO the one on ebay sucks: they have made no effort to match the wood on the rear access cover to the rest of the bass...yuk. Mine although deep red had the same wood and you could see the grain matched. Yes, I know no-one ever sees it but I'm funny like that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have a bump on me![/quote] Thank you. It is a fab bass, but since i have the status 5 (my bass that i have wanted for years and now have a brand new s2) I know the rks will just be hanging on the wall at home looking pretty, which is no place for a bass of this quality. To re cap, It is a 5 string A bass in gloss red, with through maple neck, ebony fingerboard, and mm pickup, usa made , certified (included) in hard case with a few paper extras. The hard case is very high quality as new, and it cant be less than £70 to buy it self. All for £450 including next day! I have sold a few thiongs here now, and eveyone has been happy, so i do ask that whomever buys this i would require a cash payment into my bank/or local p/up. Here are my details www.bsharpduo.co.uk cheers . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm well chuffed, Even though I'm learning to play bass she has come to a good home and will be looked after. I couldn't have wished for a better bass to learn on. Even though she is passive she has got the same punch and clout as my ESP 4 string which is active!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
