Hi there!
Just reading your discussion about Gordon Smith guitars.
I bought a GS Gypsy from Doctor Rock's in Bury, Lancs. over 20 years ago and I've still got it!!
I bought off Keith Hand himself.
It plays and sounds great. I've never had cause to change it.
The individual pick-ups turn so you can alter the tone by lining-up the magnets on either side of the strings or in-line. you can also adjust the height individually as well.
Had a quick look on the Gordon Smith web site but there are no basses listed so I assume they don't make them anymore. (Shame really).
My previous Bass was a Ricky 4001 which didn't suit my style. (Wish I still had it tho!)
