EBS_freak Posted June 29, 2009 Author Posted June 29, 2009 Nice addition... and who's that thug scrawling over that bass in your avatar? Quote
jcater Posted June 30, 2009 Posted June 30, 2009 Hello everyone first time i've posted on this thread. The pictures of Tal Wilkenfeld Spitfire look stunning - and guess what......... last Saturday i picked up the rumour bass from Bernie with exactly the same quilted maple finish. It looks so good i'm almost afraid to touch it - first gig for it on Thursday in Penshurst so i'll just have to get over the nerves & go for it. Pictures to follow soon Jeff Quote

Get the order in! Bernie's board is looking pretty full... 18 I think he last said to me. Quote

phsycoandy Posted July 6, 2009 Posted July 6, 2009 Perhaps its only punters who buy Rumours that get a T, Bernie I think ur missing a small but not insignificant income stream IMHO.......... Quote

Or would everyone pay for one? Quote
