visog Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 Nice thing - sure it sounds awesome. Be good to A/B with a regular (thru-neck Spitfire). Still not there on the shape vs. some the SC's from Ken Smith and Surine say... No coil tap switch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Yeah , different circuit ........ I think that it maybe a "john East Uni pre" identification on the circuit but looks like pictures on the "East" website. The bass is currently fitted with single coils Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EBS_freak Posted April 4, 2016 Author Share Posted April 4, 2016 You are right, it's a John circuit and Bernie has been exploring It as an alternative vibe to the Rumour circuit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Horton Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 They are as different as you can possibly get. Tonally very different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thestick Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 Would it be possible to put a east curicut in my Spitfire without too much disruption ? Is it a matter of taking one out and fitting new in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would take take your original circuit off your hands if you were thinking about moving it on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Horton Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 I personally don't like the tone of the John east preamp. I am getting Bernie to put the GB circuit & pickups into my Merlin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
visog Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 Blimey... major surgery there.... Personally I love the super hi-fi sound of the GB circuit... Nails the Super-J sound but also I like the forky neck pick-up sound for rock too. Hope it works out... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Thanks It all should be fine , When Bernie built the Merlin he cut the control cavity out so it is the same as as std gb. The gb circuit should just drop right in ...........

EBS_freak Posted June 21, 2017 Author Share Posted June 21, 2017 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGreek Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 Big fan of Bernie's work, love the way he carves his basses in the female form. On this I think it looks better from behind as it's more waisted (slim waist, broad hipped) - from the front it lacks this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
