phsycoandy Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 This thread is lacking new pictures, less talk more porn! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Brooks Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 I do have LED's but the original plan was to have abalone block inlays to compliment the colouring of the body and headstock and to add a bit of contrast to the fingerboard.

D-COOPER Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 So why did the inlays not happen Mike?When i spoke to Bernie it was a case of "If you want it you can have it"!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EBS_freak Posted October 25, 2008 Author Share Posted October 25, 2008 I'll post some more pics soon - I have a few pics of basses not in this thread that are at the bass show in Exeter this weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Brooks Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 Apparently the abalone kept splitting while he was cutting it..... i actually think there were additional factors as to why it didn't happen but thats neither here nor there.

If my mind serves me correctly, around the 1.3k mark. I love the way that the centre of the body is quilt and goes out to tiger stripes at the top and the bottom of the body. Very nice.

Still the older I get the more I realise that the good things in life definitely take time to get here. Would just like to get on and gig it - might finally be happy then after changing amp head, speaker, all effects and basses!!!

Even though it is built, it has spent more time with Bernie than me. It's doing the rounds at the shows at the moment! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gunsfreddy2003 Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 I have no idea how long Fodera take to build but I know that when I spoke to Bernie and initially placed the order for my Spitfire it was a 3 month build time but I know that Rumours take longer. I have only said to Bernie that I would like it for a big gig that I have in December and it would be great for that but I am not really hassling him too much! If you will have such a beautiful bass built for you then you deserve to have it taken away to shows for others to drool over!

Russ Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 My old Rumour took 14 months... Then again, it was *very* custom, and Bernie has someone around to kick his arse these days... he made mine back when it was just him in an industrial estate in Croydon. Thinking of going to see Bernie next time I'm back in the UK to discuss a possible Spitfire-related project... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know, I can't complain. That particular Rumour is inspiring a few people into considering a build so it's doing it's bit I suppose!
