pjb13.bass Posted July 18, 2015 Posted July 18, 2015 [b]Bernie Goodfellow handmade boutique bass. I had it made in 2000 so just one owner. Swamp ash with maple neck & fretboard. All the usual GB bells and whistles but I did go for the extra piezo pickup under the bridge. I won't bore you with the usual superlatives just see the pics. One anomaly; I originally had it made with gold hardware but once it was finished I changed my mind and went for black however the strap buttons were overlooked in this process. The bass is offered with a custom case.[/b] [b]The history of this bass is that I was made redundant and had a fairly big wad of cash burning a hole in my pocket so I decided to go for a boutique bass. To be honest it was a bit of a folly on my part. This is a highly sophisticated instrument and I am essentially a Precision man. The result is that I doubt I have gigged this bass more than a dozen times and it has sat in it's case for far too long. It is, as a consequence, in immaculate condition.[/b] [b]This bass is for collection only. If you want to organise and pay for shipping then fair enough. Depending on the distances involved I would be willing to [i]discuss [/i] meeting at a halfway point to complete the deal.[/b] [b]I will listen to [i]sensible[/i] offers but if I don't get any it will go back in the cupboard accumulating value.[/b] [b]Finally...despite what is shown in some of the pics this bass does not come with dog.[/b]
rumour6 Posted July 18, 2015 Posted July 18, 2015 Eesy to run out of superlatives when it comes to Bernie's work... wonderful instruments in all respects. GLWTS.
ezbass Posted July 18, 2015 Posted July 18, 2015 A fine, fine instrument that I have had the pleasure of playing in the past. Get in quick, this is a top notch bass and a bargain.
