Gunsfreddy2003 Posted September 13, 2008 Posted September 13, 2008 Hi Mike, That is some collection of basses that you have there! I was interested in your Kingfisher Blue GB Rumour - Bernie is building one for me as we speak and I want to go for a black american walnut type front but still have a maple type neck and fingerboard (what is yours BTW?), however Bernie insists that Rumours look better with a dark coloured neck and fingerboard as it works better with the thru neck design. I can see what he means but I like the contrast of dark and light woods like EBS Freak has on his Spitfire. Sounds like you were told roughly the same thing? Yours looks great though!! Cheers Mark [quote name='Mike Brooks' post='281466' date='Sep 10 2008, 10:06 PM']Cheers guys, Funnily enough, Bernie wasn't keen on the 'Kingfisher Blue' with gold hardware combination when I told him what I wanted, really wasn't enamoured with the idea. It was my bass so I wanted it how I explained. I think he conceded defeat once it was built!! Mike[/quote] Quote

Mike Brooks Posted January 21, 2011 Author Posted January 21, 2011 Haven't updated this in a long while, couple of new additions to add. GB Spitfire 4 [attachment=69582:DSCF1941.JPG] [attachment=69583:DSCF1935.JPG] Yamaha Attitude LTD-II [attachment=69584:DSCF1917.JPG] [attachment=69585:DSCF1925.JPG] All present and correct. The Aria R-80 has moved on though. Mike Quote
Spoombung Posted January 22, 2011 Posted January 22, 2011 Great collection... and several basses I'd like to look at there - especially the maple neck GB and ex Factors. Quote
