TheGreek Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 [quote name='EBS_freak' timestamp='1498042318' post='3322138'] Man, I know I'm a fan anyway... but this may be one of Bernie's finest looking ever. I'm not usually big into single cuts but wows... [/quote] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]I think jhk brought this to the SE Bash - looks even nicer in real life...

Andy Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 The latest from Bernie - The GB Classic. It plays like a dream and has an incredible tone (as you'd expect from Bernie). Love it! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 Just a bit ..... This bass is phenomenal! and the process of having it made has been a great experience ....... a completely personal service from one of the nicest blokes you'll ever meet.

TheGreek Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 Yet another great build from another great British builder. I wish I hadn't sold mine but I was far too precious with it and it wasn't getting the use it deserved. Enjoy... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HazBeen Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 Great build, great guy. Miss my Rumour still, should never have sold it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
visog Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 Not seen the classic before - beautiful! Sort of merge between the current Spitfire and his earlier Goodfellow shape from the '80s. Very nice. God I hope I don't see one in a five... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a new model .... to me it feels more like the Rumour than a Spitfire (in terms of a more compact body). Here's the 1st 5 string for you don't panic ... it's sold! (- now owned by Laurence Cottle I think) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
visog Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 Sort of Rumour at extremities - peg-head and tail-piece base area but with Spitfire horns. Anyway really nice looking bass. Looks like some tasty electronics too. Would love a go on one... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw Hen Barn's white Nightingale at the SE Bash - who says you can't make a silk purse from a sows ear? Now finished in White - it's hard to believe the "before and after" photos.

Rumblebass Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 Haven’t posted for a while. Here’s my Rumour4 number 0052 made for me by Bernie in 2001. I sold it a few years back when I stopped playing. In 2017 I was offered the opportunity to re-join my old Band, and I was able to buy back my bass (I’d kept tabs on its whereabouts) . I won’t be parting with it again! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EBS_freak Posted April 29, 2019 Author Share Posted April 29, 2019 It's a beaut! I had one very similar to that colour scheme. Ended up in the States when the guy saw it on the website and offered me an offer I couldn't refuse through contacting Bernie. I think I referenced it earlier in the thread. So glad you have it back in your mitts! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGreek Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 Mine was probably the best Bass I ever owned but I was too precious with it and rarely took it out of it's case. Not sure if I admire others who actually play theirs - NOW BE CAREFUL WITH IT!!!😉😉 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's looking like it's been well used now but I'm very tempted to buy it and get it restored by Bernie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
