johnnylager Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 [quote name='Gunsfreddy2003' post='428151' date='Mar 7 2009, 06:41 PM']At long last the call has finally happened! Bernie called on Friday and was playing my bass and told me that it is ready to go! Even made me listen to it for a few seconds - now that it torture! Hoping to go up one day in the week to get her - can't wait. Will post some pics as soon as I have her home.[/quote] Let us know & we'll all turn up to see her off.

Gunsfreddy2003 Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 OK OK OK! Just got back from Bernie's after a fantastic day picking up the bass and chatting to the man! I have not had time to take any pics yet so these are some that Bernie has taken or had taken. Don't know what to call her yet but can advise that she plays like an absolute dream and sounds fantastic. To say that I was ecstatic would be a gross understatement! Let me know what you all think?

EBS_freak Posted March 10, 2009 Author Share Posted March 10, 2009 Aye its a sweet bass. The walnut really works, they just look so understated classy. When you see them in the flesh, you just can't help being drawn in my them. Bet you are well chuffed Mark. Worth the wait eh? They just feel and sound... "right" don't they? I love them anyway.
