GB Spitfire 5 String.

These basses have a great reputation. It has one of the strongest Low B's i've ever played. Here are the features:

- Ash Body
- Quilted Maple Top
- Maple neck (flamed)
- Birdseye Maple Fingerboard
- Hipshot Lightweight tuners
- Black Hardware
- GB Custom Pickups
- GB 18v Circuit Vol/Pan/Bass/Mid/Treble
- Series/Parallel Switch
- 'Pulse' Battery monitor
- Through Body Stringing
- Neutrik Locking Jack
- 35" Scale
- 24 Frets

Its virtually unmarked. Two slight marks on the end of the headstock that I can't even photograph clearly. It has gone everywhere in a hard case and been very, very well looked after.
The finish and build quality are second to none (as you probably know). The strings are all really even in terms of tone and tension. A true 5 string.
It has that trademark GB slap tone and a real punch with finger style. Very versatile circuit for all styles and useful for compensating for a bad sounding room. Also the power of it is great for recording and it has always sounded great in the studio.
It is light (around the 8 pound mark) and balances perfectly. Allways been a completely dependable bass. Sad to see it go.

I'm selling the GB for £1100

I'm in Bucks but do travel around so give me a bell if you're interested.

Thanks.

Best of luck with the sale

Thanks for the interest.

A couple of people have enquired about trades. This is a Sale only. I'm not interested in any trades I'm afraid.

Best Wishes.

If this were a Rumour I would be frantically searching for my chequebook, looks a lovely bass and extremely well priced, bargain I'd say. I do love a nice GB. Good luck with the sale. Joined yesterday I see, well welcome!

I know the guy selling this GB because I sold it to him a few years ago.

He is a pro player and a nice guy.

It's a really nice bass too so anyone looking for a quality GB 5 string needs to check it out.

Free shipping worldwide always attracts more bids and gets you past the reserve. :)
