THE GB PORN THREAD


EBS_freak

Recommended Posts

Hello everyone

first time i've posted on this thread.

The pictures of Tal Wilkenfeld Spitfire look stunning - and guess what......... last Saturday i picked up the rumour bass from Bernie with exactly the same quilted maple finish.

It looks so good i'm almost afraid to touch it - first gig for it on Thursday in Penshurst so i'll just have to get over the nerves & go for it.

Pictures to follow soon

Ah - so that's your Rumour - love the gold lettering on the headstock. Looking forward to your pics - it's a stunner.

It would make a beautiful fretless. Get the order in! Bernie's board is looking pretty full... 18 I think he last said to me.

They were on the bass when I bought it S/H - but they are not flush with the bass and on inspection suspect they are not original - in fact I'm sure of it now! but they do the job.

I suspected as much. I'm guessing that they would have originally been black perspex. Makes you wonder what happens to such things!

The Bass Gallery had a f/less Paduak one I was interested in and when they sent me fotos of the rear that one had the back plates missing and was being sold as such.
Strange.

Love to help out but my wife keeps tumble drying mine so that they only fit a small child afterwards! I have had two and soon to be onto my third. T Shirts that is!

It's not an income stream if he gives them away which I guess most people who own a GB bass would expect? Or would everyone pay for one?
