I was talking with Bernie - just goes to show that the none fancy woods can often sound better... the ones that seem to stand out always seem to be the solid colour ones! Having said that, I was around when Bernie strung up your 6 - he passed it me to see what I thought of it. The fundamental notes are very strong and the notes sustain for ages... it's looking good![/quote]
That's my old bass! I met up with Bernie a couple of weeks ago when he bought it back off me 7 years after he built it for me (he's changed the strachplate since having it back)- twas a sad day but I'm only playing my Spitfire 4 now (my avatar pic) which Bernie made me 3 years after the Rumour, so it made sense in a way. Stonking sounding bass though and you're right, it was the best sounding Rumour I'd played/heard. However (believe this if you will), one of the other reasons I decided to let it go is that my Spitfire sounds even better (same Rumour circuit in it)
Such great basses and such a top bloke!! Long live GB!!!
