TheGreek Posted April 25, 2019 Posted April 25, 2019 Suggests it was originally one of Bernie Goodfellow's creations but completely worthless now as a result of the glue/hack job. Check the photos of the glued on nut and neck. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NIGHTINGALE-BASS-GUITAR/153458127982?hash=item23bad1346e:g:B4EAAOSwqpJcuwVx They should re-introduce public floggings to deal with people who do this.

fleabag Posted April 26, 2019 Posted April 26, 2019 Back in the victorian era, i was in a 3 piece ( i was drumming then ) and our bassister used an unlined fretless Nightingale bass. It was utterly superb, and looked a million dollars. They're quite rare, so what happened to that monstrosity and how that neck ended up where it has is shameful Quote
donfuego Posted August 7, 2019 Posted August 7, 2019 I actually bought that bass! Went and picked it up from the seller myself - he was a nice guy, no idea what the story behind it is. I didn't want to ask, I assume there was some tragic smashing or act of god that reduced it to just a neck. It's a real nightingstein, but it plays ok and sounds good to me. Great EQ. Bizarre stick-on fret inlays on the neck, so I took them off and gave the fingerboard a polish. The level of the E string in the nut was raised by a tactical lump of solder, which produces extra tone. I'll try to look after the poor mutant thing. 1 Quote
