bkman42 Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 Bass appears to come from a house clearance so no details on it https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Rare-B-J-Goodfellow-Bass-Guitar/312212501620?hash=item48b150b474:g:Nk4AAOSwypVbZFqD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reggaebass Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 Looks to be the right shape for a goodfellow. but not for me though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGreek Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 I posted my thread because IMO there isn't anything remotely "Goodfellow-ish" on this bass. I mailed Bernie the details - no response yet. As and when I'll update the posts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bkman42 Posted August 12, 2018 Author Share Posted August 12, 2018 haha i also mailed Bernie, and he did respond. He asked to see a photo of the electrics, but so far the bass does look genuine. I just not sure if its worth 800 in its present condition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
visog Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 Doesn't look like current or older models that I'm familiar with, but that said, Bernie is a customer maker and therefore may have made this as a one-off. I don't recognize the logo either: the lettering or the weird 'atom'. Also he tends to use 5 and 6 bolt neck-joints. The controls and bridge appointments don't look particularly high quality. On the other hand, Bernie has been known to finish his fretboards with a split fret at the top. And the 'Nightingale' pick-ups may refer to an earlier model from the range. Appears to be the pickups same as this: https://www.talkbass.com/threads/nightingale-bass-restoration-completed.416410/ Some good history from the posters in that thread too about Bernie and his bass companies. But this bass still could be a cheapie with Bernie PuPs... beware. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris2112 Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 That nut looks a bit shonky but it could just be the photos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
