phsycoandy Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 Was thinking there was only one 4er with a maple neck, so was madly checking the birdseye on mine against the pic! whateer happened to the jazz pupped one, i saw it when id was a satin finish, and i think they look way better in gloss, it had a super bound neck tho, thats all i would have added to mine i think.

Bernie would be able to tell you the specifics from his little book in which he keeps details of every GB that is built. If it's a particularly memorable bass to him, he will be able to tell you quite a bit off the top of his head. What I can tell you is that it's an earlier example due to two things... a) the control layout - it has the Standard/original Spitfire 4 in a line electronics as opposed to the Rumour electronics. the cutaway fingerboard. Fingerboards are now shaped to a point in the centre of the board. I like the subtle burst on the headstock. Nice one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
