Mego0810 Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 (edited) SOLD. Handmade by Bernie Goodfellow of England. I have owned the bass from new and originally bought it from Bernie at his London workshop around 88/89. The top is gorgeously figured book matched Bubinga and I believe the body is mahogany with a slice of walnut in between. The bolt-on neck is a five-piece laminate and has a 21-fret, undotted rosewood fretboard with side position markers. Loads of nice handmade touches such as ebony machine pegs, soffetted bolts and screws, custom made Goodfellow bridge, ebony pick up covers with Thumb Groove indent. It also has two strap pegs on the bottom of the bass so it stands up without the bass contacting the ground. The electronics Goodfellow used are custom Kent Armstrong humbuckers with the ebony covers and a proprietary Goodfellow 3-way, 18-volt preamp. The five controls are Volume, Pick-up Pan, Bass, Mid and Treble. This makes for a versatile tone pallet from punchy mid heavy finger style, to a tight slap sound and a great rock (Geddy) tone. The bass comes with a custom Goodfellow Hiscox Liteflite case. Feel free to ask any questions you may have. The Bass Gallery currently has a Goodfellow Classic fretless for £1,200.
