Josh Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 A quicky of the GB Spitfire Prototype which I've now got: For a 14 year old bass it's still in pretty damn good nick and sounds just as good as a Sadowsky I use to have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EBS_freak Posted August 28, 2009 Author Share Posted August 28, 2009 (edited) Ha ha ha ha ha ha. Funny. Good one. Interesting logic. What's my Rumour got to do with your sense of humour? As an aside, have you not felt the weight of some Rics and Warwicks...? Heavy is subjective... Its not heavy for me. Did you not think to actually weigh it...?

EBS_freak Posted August 28, 2009 Author Share Posted August 28, 2009 Joking aside Mike, how are you getting on with it? - it certainly looks like a nice example. How about some pics to add to the thread? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Brooks Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 (edited) He loves me really Nick, no worries. Pics at some point, got too much going on gig-wise and workwise generally so it'll have to wait.

walkew Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 As Bernie makes highly individual instuments, how about all owners providing pics and names for their guitars. I know when I picked up mine in March of this year, it was 4 string Rumour number 92. Whilst I was visiting Bernie a few weeks ago, i saw this beauty. It looks 3-D and the pic doesn't do it justice.

4000 Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 (edited) That's really nice, although I'll admit I'm not a fan of the "brushed aluminium" hardware. The neck wood looks gorgeous. Get some black hardware on it and I'll have it! Edited September 16, 2009 by 4000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveski Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 I saw this bass a month ago when i was sorting specs for my Rumor, and it is impossible to do this bass justice with photos, in the flesh that quilting is real 3D, and one of the most eye catching basses i've seen in a long time, i would love it on any bass i owned. It was the first time i'd seen the brushed ally hard ware and i thought it looked fantastic and suited the bass down to a tee. Got to give Bernie a ring to finalise everything in the next couple of weeks, should have done it already but i've been busy moving, work. baby etc.... Watch this space guys because this Rumors gonna be special!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
