davebass66 Posted March 3, 2010 Posted March 3, 2010 (edited) OK guys i'm new here.... And i thought what better way to get to know people than offering something......(for a certain price of course)! I Am looking to sell my GB Spitfire. I've had the bass for about 2 and a half years and have done some amazing work with it, but the temptation for something new has come calling and this is the only bass i have which doesn't have any genuine personal value! The bass is a beautiful example of Bernie's work, with the usual crazy on board eq (and flashing l.e.d to let you know how much battery life you have left)! There are one or two minor dings on the bass, (on the back and near the strap lock) as would be expected from something that has been used well...no serious ones though. I'm looking for [s]£1500[/s] £1400 for it. Feel free to get in touch if you want to come and try the bass... Let me know what you guys think! Dave Edited April 14, 2010 by davebass66
Pete1967 Posted March 3, 2010 Posted March 3, 2010 (edited) Welcome... and yeah - Wow, stunning bit of kit!! If didn't have another Shuker on the way my hand would be in my pocket.... sigh.... Edited March 3, 2010 by Pete1967
EBS_freak Posted March 3, 2010 Posted March 3, 2010 I remember seeing this bass after it had just been finished. It reminded me of the 20th Anniversary 4 string MusicMan Stingray (but without the Les Paul inspired red back). It's a lovely bass. The tort scratchplate against the natural maple really works.
wavey_davey Posted March 3, 2010 Posted March 3, 2010 She shore is purddee!! (and no, I'm not talking about EBS_freak's avatar)
eubassix Posted March 3, 2010 Posted March 3, 2010 Very nice .. and very reminiscent of this 4s version (photo below):- Belonged to richardd' before me ... does anybody have it now??... Would make a great 4s/5s pair !!
nobodysprefect Posted March 3, 2010 Posted March 3, 2010 This bass has me questioning my decision to go 6 strings only.

al embic Posted March 5, 2010 Posted March 5, 2010 mutts nutts.....if i played 5er's i'd be selling body parts for this..type bump.
Golchen Posted March 6, 2010 Posted March 6, 2010 Stunning bass, an absolute beauty! I wish I had the money.
Bassistist Posted March 8, 2010 Posted March 8, 2010 I love it, but I only could offer you a Lakland 55-94 Deluxe (1999 / mint condition) for a trade
Captain Bassman Posted March 9, 2010 Posted March 9, 2010 Hey - you still looking to sell/trade? I sent you a private message on saturday, still unanswered. Let me know Cheers! CB

SMV Posted March 11, 2010 Posted March 11, 2010 I'd just like to chip in and say that (even though this bass kinda speaks for itself) 1) Dave is a top bloke 2) I've seen (and heard!) him using this bass several times and it sounds great 3) I've played it unplugged (somewhat randomly), and it feels great 4) I would be buying this if I had the money (I imagine much like many people here...) In conclusion, have a bump!
pantherairsoft Posted March 12, 2010 Posted March 12, 2010 Stunning instrument. Would look perfect next to my GB Spitfire 5 as well... and I'm only £1499 short :-)
Golchen Posted March 12, 2010 Posted March 12, 2010 I keep coming back and looking at this bass. If I had any way of getting the readies then then this would definitely be going my way! I have some stuff to sell and I wish I'd got rid of it now (not that there’s 1.5K’s worth).
davebass66 Posted April 8, 2010 Author Posted April 8, 2010 Thanks for all the nice comments guys! Had a couple deals fall through Price drop!.... £1400 Dave
