silverfoxnik Posted October 31, 2008 Posted October 31, 2008 [quote name='bass_ferret' post='257997' date='Aug 8 2008, 11:31 AM'] [/quote] Last night I spent some time at BF's to try out his EBS Microbass (very cool) and was lucky enough to have a play on this bass.. It is absolutley stunning! The tone is beautiful, it looks fabulous and it plays like butter.. It sound fantastic through BF's Genz Benz rig too (which is also very impressive...).. Thanks for all the help Jon and for the chance to check out the BF ensemble of truly excellent basses and gear! A most enjoyable evening all round, especially when you throw in the beer and the opportunity to have a good old natter about all things bass.. Quote

Thunderthumbs Posted November 17, 2008 Posted November 17, 2008 [quote name='EBS_freak' post='317313' date='Oct 29 2008, 09:17 AM']Man, it's still a rapid build compared to the likes of Fodera! Bernie's had a busy year it would seem. If it's any consolation, Bernie has my Rumour. 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] Is it the one that he had out for review which then came back to him at the Bass Day in Manchester? If so, that's an absolute beaut. Quote

pnefc42 Posted December 2, 2008 Posted December 2, 2008 Think I've posted these elsewhere but here's a couple of shots of my 2006 spitfire IV custom - my main gigging bass and perfect for just about anything you can throw at it - plays great, sounds the bizz and looks great - job done!! Cheers Dave Quote
phsycoandy Posted December 2, 2008 Posted December 2, 2008 very nice and understated, BTW it was good to see the GB Rumour beat the rest by a country mile in the latest BGMag 5 string shoot out, as if there was any doubt anyway! Quote

Dave Marks and Stuart Clayton have GB's as well These guys must play a lot of basses and probably get offered lots of basses, and they buy GB's. Got to say something.

bass_ferret Posted December 2, 2008 Posted December 2, 2008 My bad. I think they all use EBS though. Or maybe i'm just talking bollocks. Am I allowed to say I am talking bollocks? Quote

EBS_freak Posted December 8, 2008 Author Posted December 8, 2008 With or without? ...and I reckon a tort guard is in order...? Quote
birdy Posted December 8, 2008 Posted December 8, 2008 I would have said without but you have got me thinking about a tort guard for mine now... Quote
Toasted Posted December 8, 2008 Posted December 8, 2008 Normally not one for fancy wood + pickguard, but that looks really rather good. Quote

Probably a stupid question! Steve Quote
Gunsfreddy2003 Posted December 8, 2008 Posted December 8, 2008 Definitely without - let the beauty of the wood shine through!! [quote name='EBS_freak' post='348274' date='Dec 8 2008, 12:48 AM']With or without? ...and I reckon a tort guard is in order...?[/quote] Quote
