BigJim Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 (edited) [size=4]So here we have it! [/size] [size=4]I can't believe I'm selling this bass and It's even tattooed on my arm (you don't get my arm with it before anybody asks!) [/size] [size=4]My 2005 GB Spitifre that has [/size]been reviewed by Dave Marks in Bass Guitar Magazine in 2005! Plus it holds probably the highest marks in BGM at 97%! The specs are: 1 piece swamp ash body Spalted Canadian Maple top, Maple neck Bound Snakewood(!!) fingerboard Usual GB pickups and electronics Gold Schaller hardware Hiscox Hardcase + straplocks The writing on the back of the headstock is ontop of the laquer and rubs off. It won't be there if you don't want it to be! This was reviewed in BGM May 2005. Still got the highest score in BGM ever!! I'll include a copy of the magazine aswell. This really hurts me to sell this but circumstances change The pics can be found here: [url="http://s1124.beta.photobucket.com/user/BigJimbasschat/library/GB%20Spitfire"]http://s1124.beta.ph...y/GB%20Spitfire[/url] PRICE DROP 1700 quid!!!!

White Cloud Posted January 13, 2013 Posted January 13, 2013 Personally I think you will be making a big mistake selling this beauty. You may never have another bass like it again.

CPBass Posted January 26, 2013 Posted January 26, 2013 Shame the Vigier didnt tempt you Jim, i tried.
molan Posted January 27, 2013 Posted January 27, 2013 I think you may have a serious problem Jim. You're selling your lovely bass becuase your new PA is calling you and she's obviously very expensive to maintain?
