whynot Posted February 10, 2008 Posted February 10, 2008 Lefty GB Spitfire in great condition. Comes with GB (Hiscox) case. I'm rarely using this at the moment so seeing if any interest. Very lightweight with top of the range GB electrics. Birdseye maple neck and f/board (Jazz type feel and fast). Not much more I can say about this apart from PM me with any questions and more pictures available upon request. Oh yes, the plant, pot and football are not included in the sale. Looking for £900.00.
pnefc42 Posted February 10, 2008 Posted February 10, 2008 nice...............no good for me as a R/Hander, but nice nonetheless so have a bump! Cheers Dave
lefty68 Posted February 10, 2008 Posted February 10, 2008 Very very tempting!! but a little too high priced for me
Bassmonster Posted February 10, 2008 Posted February 10, 2008 ah so tempting (slaps wrist)...lovely that..you have to many nice basses
Biggsy Posted February 11, 2008 Posted February 11, 2008 Man, I saw an identical model to this pass through ebay before Christmas, look gorgeous, and from the soundclips I heard well worth the asking price for a very distinct tone. Didn't have the money to speculate on it then, still don't now Defo worth a test drive for fellow left-handers, and (slightly OT) seeing as we tend to have longer sale periods it'd be grreat to see a lefty's classifieds area, as without constant bumpage these posts can get lost!

Biggsy Posted February 11, 2008 Posted February 11, 2008 I couldn't say, but you're probably right; There can't be many of these around?

whynot Posted February 11, 2008 Author Posted February 11, 2008 Hi All, I've had this one for about 3 months so possibly the one your thinking of. I understand from GB that at least 2 very similar spec left handers have been made in black with that pickguard and the maple board. I used it throughout most of my December gigs and sounded excellent but started using my SEi again beginning January so it's only come out the case in the last 6 weeks to have pictures taken. The main reason I'm looking for a sale so soon after purchase is that I've decided to order a new Bassix EUB asap, so something must go soon (should never have sold the NS). As per usual I'm open to reasonable offers.

Knew it woulda been a good investment, although I'm sure it would have been a serious last minute bidding war if I'd have managed to put the beans together! Correct me if I'm wrong, but if you're after a Mark King type tone, this is THE bass.

phsycoandy Posted February 11, 2008 Posted February 11, 2008 Great basses bar none as the man says! Bargain, and I should know!

Frusty Posted February 14, 2008 Posted February 14, 2008 (edited) Out of all the basses Mark King has used in his career, (all high end stuff obviously e.g. Jaydee, Status, Alembic, Fender), it was his brief stint with GB basses that gave him his very best sound. (IMHO of course!) And by that I mean it was a good soloing slap sound, but still had enough 'bottom end' for a band situation. Amazing sounding basses. Although there is no guarentee that if you buy one you will be able to play them as well as Mr King Mark with his GB: [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-rbxt4uSRsY"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-rbxt4uSRsY[/url] Edited February 14, 2008 by Frusty
whynot Posted February 17, 2008 Author Posted February 17, 2008 Thanks for the comments everyone. I'll probably be putting it on Ebay towards the end of February at £800 so if anyone is interested at that price including postage then let me know.
