Gunsfreddy2003 Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Just embarking on a new GB bass and this time it is a Rumour 5 string. This is the wood that I have chosen for the body facing - should be able to post some fingerboard pics soon.

Gunsfreddy2003 Posted June 15, 2013 Author Share Posted June 15, 2013 It is going to be a sprayed lacquer just like my last one - decided against hand painted yellow in the end! You're more than welcome to come over and have a play when I get it.
