Is there any demand for one of these at the moment? Lil apprehensive, only up as my Kubicki won't sell, but need a new laptop plus £250 quids worth of Uni books:
My High Quality 1985 Goodfellow Classic Custom, Serial no. 0030 and checked with Bernie Goodfellow to be an original. Has the looks, playability and tone.
Looks like what the GB Rumour model was based on. The bass has a quilted maple top and spalted/quilted maple back, with a slab of walnut in between bound by mahogany. The neck is 34" five piece mahogany/maple with a 21 frets ebony fingerboard, bound again by mahogany which carries on to cover the headstock.
The bass has custom Goodfellow Gold hardware with his surname engraved into the bridge and 'classic' upon the truss rod cover. The bass has 'g' engraved into the machineheads and has messacre ebony tuning pegs. The headstock bears the 'G' symbol and has 'made in England' underneath.
The pickups are kent armstrong custom wound with wooden ebony covers boasting a thumb groove for easy playing. 5 rotary knobs : Volume, bass, mid, treb and pickups balancer. Active bass requiring two batteries for its silly amount of power (i only use it up halfway tops) and ability to switch to passive. Can play anything, very versatile.
Recently setup by Cardiff Guitars: relubricated, electronics cleaned, action set low with no bend in the neck etc. ALSO!! Don't ask me about string spacing as its adjustable, just screw the grooves round, widen it up for slap and narrow it down for fingerstyle.
Comes with hardshell professional plush hardshell protec case case, as made for orchestra instruments and a custom made John Edwards leathercraft polished brass engraved buckle strap.
