Agree with all the above, I happened upon a Spitfire built for some shows as a showpiece and as such I believe got a bargain as it wasn't custom built for me, but wow what a machine all the best woods and tronics and a beauty to boot, have no fear, just sold my Lakland DPLE1 which i said i would never do, the GB is indeed a one trick pony as it does all the tricks in the book, you will need no other bass. I have however a nagging feeling that she may be too nice to take to some rough old pub do's if you know what I mean.......wheres my cheap bass?
