GB Spitfire FS. Something rather special.##SOLD##


Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

For no other reason than that I fancy a change and need some cash in my pocket for my forthcoming NYC trip I,m selling my rather special GB. It's a sister to EBS-Freaks 5 sting and one of a triplet taken from the same american walnut facing.
This is a Jazz on steroids, with a huge and powerful EQ section, it covers every sound in the book from full on Mark King slap to soulfull jazz tones and everything in between. A quality bass in every respect.
Super fast figured maple neck and fretboard, a really spectacularly pretty bass and always gets admiring comments.
Comes with GB Hiscox case. 9.5/10 condition wise, there is the smallest of marks on the top edge towards the rear, and a small depression just above the battery, Bernie is aware of this from when it was new and will sort it at any stage for the new owner, its basically a tiny settling in a knot of the grain and was there when I bought it, it is barely noticeable and it never bothered me. She has the snazzy smoked see thru EQ cover.
Some extensive new pictures: Please excuse the missing screw on the rear cover! It will be replaced.

Price wise: £1650 shipped and insured.

When it comes to basses Bernie is the man ....
No one can come close to his craftsman’s ship....
Who’s the daddy... and where's your F**** tool .... remind me of a scene from the rather quaint scene from Scum... :)
Good luck with the sale...

If this bothers anybody, it looks like 5 seconds on a polishing wheel will get rid of that - I had a few similar marks removed from my red Rumour.

Andy.....Andy.....Andy......

Why do this to me????

As I've mentioned once or twice before, I was in Bernie's basement the day before you collected it, and he played it through the rig that I eventually walked out of the shop with. It sounds absolutely stunning!!!

Right.......I'm off down to hell to sell my soul to the devil.....I'll be back (hopefully)!!
