Ian Davies Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 (edited) [font=Verdana][size=3][b]GB Rumour 5 string bass guitar FS[/b][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=3]It’s been a very difficult decision but I’ve decided to sell my Bernie Goodfellow 5 string Rumour bass. This bass was built for me by Bernie in 2011 and has been very well looked after. Most of the time it’s been used for recording at my home studio (clean, no pets or smoke) and has had only occasional use outside of that. I was doing a lot of recording and I had about 6 other basses but the GB Rumour was the one I kept using. The sound is really amazing; clear, articulate and has a wonderful depth to the tone. The electronics are very powerful and at the same time immensely musical. Craftsmanship of the bass is, as always with Bernie, top notch. The reason for the sale is that times have moved on and so have my needs (and wants). I prefer the simplicity of 4 string basses and particularly fretless these days.[/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=3]details:[/size][/font][list] [*]walnut body [*]stunning claro walnut top [*]34” scale [*]wooden tuning pegs [*]macassar ebony fingerboard [*]maple and purple heart neck [*]ebony ramp between the pickups (removable) [*]perfect balance [*]weight is about 4.5 - 5kg (bit difficult to be exact on my bathroom scales) because of the fantastic ergonomics and balance you don’t feel the weight too much and it really adds to the tone! [/list] [font=Verdana][size=3]The bass comes with the original GB Hiscox hard case.[/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=3]On the GB website cost calculator a similar bass now would cost around £3625 - but high quality wood facing (as on my bass) cost extra, so the true cost would be in excess of this.[/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=3][b]£2100[/b], sorry no trades[/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=3]buyer to pay the shipping cost or you’re very welcome to collect the bass from Dorchester.[/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=3]Thanks for looking [/size][/font] [size=3][attachment=215011:Rumour body 1.jpg][/size] [size=3][attachment=215012:Rumour body 2.jpg][/size] [size=3][attachment=215014:Rumour in case 2.jpg][/size] [size=3][attachment=215015:GB Rumour 1.jpg][/size] [size=3][attachment=215016:GB Rumour 2.jpg][/size] [size=3][attachment=215017:GB Rumour 3.jpg][/size] [size=3][attachment=215018:GB Rumour 4.jpg][/size] Edited April 10, 2016 by Ian Davies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
