Hey Whereabouts are you located? Cheers

Hey Harry Whereabouts are you based if I were to want to check it out? Cheers

Hey man Did you sell this one? Cheees

Hi Si I'm very interested in this one... Any dings on the back of the neck? I'm assuming not from your comments. Does it have the gig bag or a flightcase? Do you do paypal? If not, what's your suggested purchase scheme? Cheers

Hi I'm interested in your bass Whereabouts are you? Cheers Gareth

Thanks Haimsey I liked the one I tried:) It was new, so a newer version I think, but it didnt have the HRI which is a deal breaker for me... (cant be dealing with that buzz) cheers

Hi Fatwull I'm interested in your bass. Obviously I'm not in here very much and I'm based in London, but I'm a pro and a bunch of people know me. My websites on my profile. If we can find a way to trade/meet/send etc, are you interested? Ideally I'd like to try it, having only played one similar, but that may prove impractical... Cheers Gareth

One Bernie Goodfellow brown/tobacco sunburst 5 string sadly available, along with a Profundo 4 string double bass which is very nice but not suitable for what I need. The Spitfire was made for me by Bernie about 15 years ago; I used it all the time, then changed to a Stingray 5 for various reasons, then tweaked the Spitfire by putting in a Seymour Duncan replacement circuit which did good things (pan, push/pullbass boost vol, treble, concentric mid+bass). The neck is fantastic, two octaves on G/D/A, but I'm not happy with the pickup/playing position and rather than butcher the bass and have to put a scratch plate on it, I'm going to let it go. I rang Bernie to ask his permission too...so you can take it to him without fear of embarrassment. Bass Gallery rough estimate of value a little while ago was £1200; this despite some typical damage around the jack socket area from having a bad case, sorry (replaced some years ago!). Offers in the region of that, but obviously I'm not a shop and wont need to pay a commission unless it ends up hanging on their wall with a "for sale" sticker. The Profundo is the carved-edge one, retails around £3350 I think, not many around, 4 years old now and very much left to languish in a corner (it was always going to be a spare) whilst I play my 5 string (upright). Its in fine condition, but needs playing and (according to my guy) probably setting up to suit the player. Strange pricing one of these - if you could get one new (they've only made 8 so far I think) it would cost as above - so I think the secondhand value is (counter-intuitively for double basses) a little less. I guess I'm looking for £2850. If anyone's interested, I've also got a Hartke 2x10 transporter cab which needs re-coning or something else putting into it. I replaced it with an EBS 2x10, so its just taking up space... cheers

Hackney... the bass is in Southall, but easily accessible. If your mobile hasnt changed, I'll ring you...

Hi Daf not in the market for a new bass... However, that's no reason not to think about these things. I've got a Stentor Profundo (hand-carved, correct timbers, 4 string, low action - mainly because it needs setting up properly and playing) sitting in a shop out of sight and out of mind...I bought it as a spare but use a 5 string NS instead when I need to would you consider a swap plus cash as an option? just playing with ideas... cheers Gareth

I'm really looking for a 5 string one of these, but might be interested in this one if we can agree on a price. Would there be a deal on offer for cash, and does it come with a case or is it still in cardboard? cheers
