Maybe in the UK but probably not in the USA.

I'm sure I've seen a similar red one on US Ebay recently. I think it was a limited edition colour run and if the buyer ordered it especially then it may be the only one in the UK.

Used SR5s are not that common here because most people that have them tend to keep them. Knowing my luck we'll probably get a whole load of them up for sale now. lol.

Not really. The first one has, I suppose, a claim of rarity as it's been discontinued. The second, I think, has been described as rare because the seller hasn't seen one before. Bass Central has loads of them.

Wow - I really like the red one, I wish the missus would let me spend some £'s!

The first one is Burnt Apple....We don't offer that color anymore, but there were lots of them made. The white one is not rare at all. We still offer that color, and there are boatloads of them out there.

Take everything you hear on ebay with a grain of salt my friends.

What's evil about it? Like any online purchase, some care must be taken, but the vast majority of ebay transactions go smoothly. Without eBay, most of us would not have access to the vast array of great basses that are out there at any given moment. Without it, we'd get hammered every time we sold a bass because the local brick and mortar establishment would give us about 25-35% of its true worth.

No arguments, what so ever ( putting aside the accassional fraud ).

Who said they didn't go smoothly?

>>>>What's evil about it?

The CRAP in the adverts. Look at the examples above. Do you want more?

Actually, it's the main reason for my website....so people don't get ripped off.

Other than that, yep....no probs with Evil Bay.

That colour (red sparkle) is my next bass - no f'in doubt about it.

I don't normally get all weak-knee'd over colours, but that's a beaut.
