TheGreek Posted September 10, 2014 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 Photos here but are a bit out of date: [url="http://s1167.photobucket.com/user/FairfaxAikman/slideshow/GB%20Rumour"]http://s1167.photobu...how/GB%20Rumour[/url] Weighs about 8LBs and is beautifully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.

Dazed Posted September 10, 2014 Posted September 10, 2014 Gosh all these jewels for sale ..... You buying a new house ?
TheGreek Posted September 10, 2014 Author Posted September 10, 2014 Reality check - 12 basses [i]IS[/i] apparently too many...I need to look at what I "[i]need[/i]" not just what I "[i]want[/i]"..
GregBass Posted September 10, 2014 Posted September 10, 2014 I need this - but my bank manager needs my money. Have a free bump for a gorgeous bass!
Marcus Posted September 10, 2014 Posted September 10, 2014 Hi, lovely looking instrument.... what makes the pics out of date ? has the bass changed fro the pics ?? Regards Mark
MB1 Posted September 10, 2014 Posted September 10, 2014 MB1. "I don't believe it!" I've got the same colour chesterfield BUMP
ZenBasses Posted September 14, 2014 Posted September 14, 2014 Absolutely stunning Still my all time favourite bass.. Played many but never owned one. Price even second hand is beyond my reach. The Rumour is a defo the ultimate 'will have one some day' bass. Glwts
TheGreek Posted September 22, 2014 Author Posted September 22, 2014 I don't really want to sell this but offers will be considered...I need some of the others to sell to justify keeping this
ziggydolphinboy Posted September 23, 2014 Posted September 23, 2014 played this bass and its incredible, tbh i rekon it will beat any bass out there for sound feel etc and craftmansship welll .... say no mre. bump for a amazing bass.
TheGreek Posted October 13, 2015 Author Posted October 13, 2015 I was planning on holding on to this but I've had a change of heart - now for sale for £1900 ono.
Joebethell Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 Out of interest what's the bass in the middle of the pic with 3? Looks sweet as does the GB
TheGreek Posted October 29, 2015 Author Posted October 29, 2015 I don't know...and it seems that nobody here could identify it either: http://basschat.co.uk/topic/270821-identify-this/ Plays and sounds great....
TheGreek Posted November 8, 2015 Author Posted November 8, 2015 New photos: http://s1167.photobucket.com/user/FairfaxAikman/slideshow/GB%20Rumour
KuzBass Posted November 9, 2015 Posted November 9, 2015 Fantastic bass, definitely on my wish list!!!
Chris Horton Posted December 12, 2015 Posted December 12, 2015 I love to wood grain on the back of this bass
TheGreek Posted March 4, 2016 Author Posted March 4, 2016 Weekend bump - please note that I don't care if this doesn't sell..
TheGreek Posted March 31, 2017 Author 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.
TheGreek Posted April 1, 2017 Author Posted April 1, 2017 [quote name='Chris2112' timestamp='1490993833' post='3269775'] My old ACG...what a bass that was. [/quote] Still is mate...still is..
Chris2112 Posted April 1, 2017 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.
TheGreek Posted April 1, 2017 Author 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...
Chris2112 Posted April 1, 2017 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.
