GB Spitfire Custom 5 - reviewed in BassGuit Mag. PRICE drop £1400 £1500

[StuartB]

Just reduced the price a little.

Mine for a year, my regular gig has finished so it seems criminal to have such a great - terrific even - bass sitting in a box, not to mention having the cash tied up. So, she's back on the market.

Previous owner's ad puts it better than I can -

[i][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 as well.. 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][/i]

My pics taken today are attached. (I have more but the system won't let me upload them - email me and I will send)

Hi, what is she on the scales?

[ziggydolphinboy]

played this in bass gear ...awesome bass

[StuartB]

Don't think I have any accurate scales but 'a bit heavier than a precision, similar to a status S2 and slightly heavier than a Roscoe Century std'. Which is probably all meaningless rubbish but - sorry.

[fingerz]

Knowing GB quite well, I doubt it will be a shoulder breaker, far from it.

Good luck with the sale.

[StuartB]

Good heavens it's quiet on here :-)

You got it!! (is it also a football team then?)

[StuartB]

Well I am trying to reduce the price to £1400 but the forum won't let me - whatever I do it still says £1500. Anyway, [b]now selling for £1400![/b]
