I may be mistaken, but I thought Mark had popped in here before when his rainbow bass came up for sale...maybe he'll chime in and give us the scoop. |

I remember when that thread popped up again last May right around when I was becoming a regular lurker here. Something about the tremolo sounded cool so I looked around elsewhere for more info. It's funny the way Mark pops up in random forums. In one place he kept scolding one of his students to get offline and go practice. I giggled for a sec and was like, yeah, I should probably go practice, too. |

Someone got a great deal as long as they don't mind playing a 6 string banana! I bet it plays great though.... |

I bid $255 but stopped after that. I figured it would have at least gone up to 1,000+, Guess not. The seller has to be kicking at that low price. Some work and a refinish could possibly made that bass a great player. |
