Buy the Geddy - great basses, then stick a J-Retro in it - moocho fantastico!!! Cheers Dave

NV I have a Rumour IV (and a standard IV) which I had built in 2003. I currently play in 4 bands (2 only occasionally), 2 of which are gigging covers/function bands. As such I play stuff as diverse as you could imagine including current chart stuff, 80s Disco/Electro, Classic Rock/Pop, 70s funk and soul etc etc - I can honestly say that I'm quite happy to use the Rumour on every gig knowing that it gives me the tones I need - add to that it's the most comfortable bass to play (and wear) and you can't really go wrong - like I say I've had mine since 2003 and love it, best bass I've ever owned (I won't give you the list!) On top of all that Bernie is just the nicest guy to deal with - top man, top basses!! Cheers Dave

[quote name='EBS_freak' post='120009' date='Jan 14 2008, 11:49 AM']Nothing like them indeed! Have you got any pics of your GBs?[/quote] Here ya go! Ist up my custom Daphne Blue Rumour 4 c/w the GB LED Controller system - made for me in 2003 And my custom Standard IV built in 2006 - has through body stringing and the Rumour electronics but the jazz control layout Like I've said these basses are the absolute mutts - the slap sound on the Standard is just incredible!! Cheers Dave

I have 2 GBs (as some of you probably know) a Rumour and Standard (both 4 string) which were both custom built for me by Bernie - these basses are the dogs!! Nothing else like 'em - simple as that!!! Cheers Dave

[quote name='BeLow' post='100426' date='Dec 6 2007, 06:40 PM']The other place is Manson's in Exeter - which can be a bit chaotic at times - but certanly some of the staff there are really helpful and although they obviously try to sell you stuff it is quite refreshing to go in and for them to say - 'Have a look at this I think you might like it .....' As I have bought a bit of gear there they will do things like order me a bass without needing a deposit - or do their best to match internet prices whilst still doing a pre-delivery set up, or throwing in a little extra from time to time to make me feel like a ... customer. There are few place out there were they do go that little bit further and it works because I go back there.[/quote] +1 for Mansons - Adrian is a top bloke and will go out of his way to try and accomodate - I've dealt with him for a good few years now and it's exactly the reason that I keep going back - shame places (and more specifically people) like this are the exception rather than the rule Cheers Dave

Hi Alex Beautiful basses!! Love the GBs (as you would expect ) - the JDs are lovely too Hope all is well etc Cheers Dave

[quote name='funkyhobbit' post='97847' date='Dec 2 2007, 10:56 PM']Hey up Dave, nice pair!!! your GB has to be the best sounding one I have played yet ( At thoms when you picked up the black JD) The scratch plate just adds that little bit diff Regards,Mark BTW Scrunchy on the Nut,,,,,, a bit of WOOTEN Maybee ?[/quote] Hiya Mark Nice to hear from you - Keeping well I hope!!! Had Bernie put the plate on a couple of years ago to protect the finish under the D & G strings (slapping abuse!) - I think it looks OK meself - and yeah the bass always has sounded great - even compared to other GBs!! Good spot re the scrunchy - have to admit am partial to a bit of the old double thumbing (albeit badly!!!!) - don't think Vic needs to worry too much just yet How's that Fodera of yours doin btw? You still got it? (that was an awesome bass!) Cheers Dave

Hi all Couple of snaps of my custom GB Rumour 4 and Stealth II 5 string Rumour was built for me in 2003 by Bernie and is fitted with the GB LED controller system (and those blue LEDs are BRIGHT!!!!!) - joined last year by a custom standard 4. Great bloke - great basses!! Cheers Dave

no.............think it's safe to say they're staying put!!

Beautiful basses John - enjoy the Kingbass!! PM sent btw Cheers Dave
