Goodfellows Spitfire

[TheGreek]

Wrong model for me unfortunately - I'm after a Rumour 4 - sell me yours??? Didn't think so...

Here's the one on ebay:

Is it just me who thinks it looks like Japcrap?

[lateralus462]

Nope

[Muzz]

Yup, looks like A.N.Other Jazzalike...

If you ever get a chance to play any GB bass you would change your opinion in a heart beat!

[waynepunkdude]

I have, they are nice but it looks awful

I thought Wayne was saying he reckoned that wasn't actually a Goodfellow, and it certainly is not a typical example of a Spitfire. The bog-standard Jazz pickups, plus the 4-knob configuration, make that pretty unusual, and it's not an arrangement that shows off the Spitfire to its best advantage.

Aw Wayne. I'm hurt.

Looks so much better with the GB soap-bars and that knob configuration.

5 strings helps, of course.

Mate, yours look special but the one in the link looks like any old japcrap Jazz.

This is the trouble with bespoke basses though, and the reason they don't always hold their value. Bernie is a great guy, and his basses are awesome to play. Ask him to build a bass to your spec and he'll do it. Whether anyone else likes that spec is another matter entirely!

I bought a Jazz bass a few years ago and someone had gone to great time and expense to fit gold hardware throughout. I thought it looked awful. To each their own...

How can anybody buy a bass of somebody who says they are "happy to take PAINPal"

[Dave Holden]

GB Rules! Someone buy mine!!

Just took a peek and all I can is wow! That's one of the biggest teases I have seen on BC for ages. My misus would pour petrol over me, light the match and stamp on my ashes if I'd bought it!

Yeh but at least you'd have a really nice bass...although you wouldn't be able to play it in that condition...still worth considering though
