TheGreek Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 (edited) With much regret, as part of my gear cull this too has to go. [url="http://s1167.photobucket.com/user/FairfaxAikman/media/More%20GBs/moreGBs012_zps5ea4b76b.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s1167.photobucket.com/user/FairfaxAikman/media/Real%20wood/morebasses043_zpsd9a2a0e6.jpg.html"][/url] Beautiful example of these great basses...I'm having to face up to the reality that I have too many basses and give somebody else the opportunity to own this - hopefully it will get used rather than sitting in it's GB Hiscox case under my bed. Purchased here from Gunsfreddy I've hardly used it though its had a couple of outings to Bashes and been use at home - I haven't gigged it. Currently wearing Status 35-90 strings which Bernie installed when he set it up. Photos here but are a bit out of date: [url="http://s1167.photobucket.com/user/FairfaxAikman/slideshow/GB%20Rumour"]http://s1167.photobu...how/GB%20Rumour[/url] Weighs about 8LBs and is beautifully balanced.

TheGreek Posted March 31, 2017 Author Share Posted March 31, 2017 Don't want to sell this, there's a good chance that I'll be rude to anybody who replies but, having said that, I need the cash to pay Andy for my forthcoming commission. Please don't make me sell it...buy something else I've got for sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris2112 Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 Glad to hear it's in good hands. I lost track of it after it returned to the UK a few years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGreek Posted April 1, 2017 Author Share Posted April 1, 2017 I got it in a trade with Ziggy, not sure where he got it from. I thought that GreeneKing originally commissioned it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris2112 Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 Greeneking commissioned it. I bought it from him in 2010 or 2011 IIRC. Traded it to Romania and it came back shortly afterwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
