Nightingale bass on US ebay

[Gwilym]

i think even with shipping and duties this might be worth a punt for someone. Seller doesn't indicate that they'll ship to the UK though. Chris(?) Nightingale used to work with Bernie Goodfellow I think, hence the similarity with Goodfellow basses.

Shame the pics aren't a bit better - looks interesting.

You don't see them very often, that's for sure. Weren't they made out of a workshop in Denmark Street at one time?

I used to have a Nightingale 'Harlequin' bass.....made by Bernie Goodfellow and Neil MacDonald in their workshop in Thornton Heath....

Lovely bass with superb action and a bold tone.

Sold it to continue my Spector buying....

I've played a 6 string Nightingale alot over the last few weeks. It's a sweet bass.
