JensWest Posted September 27, 2012 Posted September 27, 2012 You have to state a trade valuation my friend.
Norwood Posted September 28, 2012 Author Posted September 28, 2012 (edited) Ok about £900 for a base for a trade Edited September 28, 2012 by norwood-1
JensWest Posted September 28, 2012 Posted September 28, 2012 What do you mean by "Just a failure contact at the jack instrument enter but works fine like this"? Is there a new input jack, but it's in the wrong size or something? The thing sticking out...
Norwood Posted September 28, 2012 Author Posted September 28, 2012 (edited) No sorry, excuse me for my explication. In fact you have to change the input jack, the bass works fine like this but It's better to change it. It's not difficult to repare it. Edited September 28, 2012 by norwood-1

Schnozzalee Posted September 29, 2012 Posted September 29, 2012 It's an unusual headstock and mine had wooden tuning pegs - when I put mine up after first joining everyone started talking about something called the 'Lowden-era'. I'd ask EBS Freak, he knows all about the Goodfellow stuff. I traded my musicman 4 string for one o these, ironically .
Norwood Posted September 29, 2012 Author Posted September 29, 2012 Between 1992 and 1996 because difficult to read the serial number it's 00165 or 00185.
Muzz Posted September 29, 2012 Posted September 29, 2012 I've a friend who has a similar one (a 4-string which used to be mine), and that's a Lowden-era one. There are folks on here who are more expert than me who can give a more definitive answer, but it's a lovely bass nonetheless.
Norwood Posted September 29, 2012 Author Posted September 29, 2012 Yes this one has been made in lowden era.
TheGreek Posted September 29, 2012 Posted September 29, 2012 Here's the thread where Russ (EBS Freak) provided a detailed history of Bernie's bass building career: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/81840-goodfellow-bass-info-please/"]http://basschat.co.uk/topic/81840-goodfellow-bass-info-please/[/url]
EBS_freak Posted October 1, 2012 Posted October 1, 2012 (edited) Just to confirm - Lowden era. Bernie was out of the Goodfellow operation before the 5 string went to market (and Bernie was never happy with the design that they took to market). A great bit of history to own though - you rarely see a 5 string come to market - especially in this condition. Edited October 1, 2012 by EBS_freak
