Bought by me and only used in a non-smoking, non pet - home environment, and never gigged. Comes with the original packaging and manual.

Very Good condition, some small marks on the top but elsewhere including the front is very good. Let me know if anymore pictures are required.

I live in Chatham, Kent and collection is preferred (observing social distancing and mask guidelines) or can deliver locally.

Alternatively meet up could be arranged if not too far with some contribution for fuel.

Nice to know it’s fairly shallow. Do you know what the nut width and weight is?

Nut width is about 41mm and weight is (I did the scientific method of weighing me with and without!) 9.6lbs

Lovely looking bass @sgh. What’s the neck spec? 

It's an Ash body, Fingerboard is a lovely Birdseye Maple and so is the back of the neck. Let me know if you want anymore photos.

It's very comfortable to play and a flat, fairly shallow neck. I spoke to Bernie Goodfellow just now and he reminded me that if there is a new owner he will always look after the bass, no question.

Blue burst GB Spitfire with some prism sparkle overblown, gorgeous birdseye maple neck and blue side leds.

Recent setup from Mr Goodfellow himself. It's in excellent condition and comes with full Hiscox hard case.

Still available at the moment

Saw Bernie the other day about a Rumour 4 I am interested in and saw these 2 lovely demo 5 strings which I believe Bernie would be willing to sell:

Bank Holiday price drop - now £625

Bernie has had a white one on his site for some time. I'm not sure it is still for sale, but might be worth giving him a call if you're interested. Not cheap, mind you.

PM me if you need his mobile number.

Cheers, yes that one has been sold a while back. I have his mobile.

My chances are slim I know but is anyone looking to part with their GB Rumour (preferably with Sound to Light system) 4 string?

Rarer than hens teeth, I know!

Price drop bump

Yeah. Not sure if shipping is an option.

Theres a diagonally configured one at Bass Direct - don’t know if this is a newer/older model.

Looks lush though.

Thanks Andy. Shipping could be an option but would imagine this could be expensive. Think it's 212 LNT that's diagonally configured.

That is a real bargain, definitely

Thanks, GB Rumour and the wood is walnut

GB Rumour

Amazing clear sounding amp in Mint Condition, as I hope I have captured in the photos but if anyone wants anymore please let me know.

I am the only owner and this has only been used in a non-smoking, non-pet home environment and never been gigged.

I live in Chatham, Kent and collection is preferred (observing social distancing and mask guidelines) or can deliver locally.

Alternatively meet up could be arranged if not too far with some contribution for fuel.

• Model: 212MNT neolite
• Configuration: 2×12” Neodymium drivers + tweeter
• Power: 600 Watts continuous power handling
• Impedance: 4 Ohm
• Freq. response: 40 Hz – 16 kHz
• Sensitivity: 102 dB 1W @ 1m
• Dimensions: H x W x D, 77 x 50 x 41 cm
• Weight: 25 Kg / 55 lbs

So this is definitely the TD660 and Tuner as pictured, not the TD650?

Did this sell in the end?

Don't see many of these around, I've had a few Kingbass's - MK1, MK2, 30th Anniversary, Paramatrix and preferred the MK2 for sound.

Also contemplating between these 2, I have a Genz Benz Shuttle 9.2 and a Vanderkley MNT212 but fancy a change.

Bass wise, GB Rumour & GB Spitfare both 4's.

Slightly leaning towards the Mesa but in the words of Mavis from Coronation Street 'I don't really know'.

That’s lush -  Bernie’s work is unreal -  not found a bass that would ever want me parting with my 4 string rumour 

The same goes for my Rumour
