Bob Goo Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 (edited) Hi, Many years ago I sold my Gordon Smith Galaxy bass on eBay. I've regretted it ever since. If anyone comes across one for sale if love to know about it. If it's my old one I'd be even happier.

Shaggy Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 Bought mine on ebay about 5 years back, only thing about deal I remember was it was "collection only" but I managed to persuade seller to post Lovely bass - simple, but fabulously crafted and finished. Since traded with lozbass on this forum who I'm fairly sure has moved it on, but may be a trail worth following! Good luck, and let us know if you find your old squeeze......

BigRedX Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 That's stunning! I can remember lusting after it on eBay... Anyone know how many of those were made? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lozbass Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 Don't know how many were built (I'd suspect fairly low numbers) and the one in the images is really lovely. I think I owned this for a couple of years - a beautful bass but it sat in my office and only came out of the case infrequently - at the time, I was moving increasingly to short scales. I can't remember where the bass went (I'd need to check) but I'm pretty sure that it stayed in the basschat community. Indeed, I think it was sold-on again via basschat after my sale. It's very light and very playable - I find the latter to be a characteristic of all GS basses (a mate of mine has a black GS P from the mid-late '70s and it's gorgeous!) Good luck in tracking the bass above (or your own) down - of course, the two could be the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Goo Posted November 14, 2013 Author Share Posted November 14, 2013 Cheers for the replies guys. I don't think that's my old one. The finish looks too vibrant. I'm sure mine was a little more faded. The only stand out thing I remember about mine was that there was quite a bit of wear near the bottom of the body where it had been stood against a wall and not on a stand by the previous owner. I really don't mind scuffs and scrapes but would never have mistreated it like that. During the time I owned it I couldn't find any presence of the GS Galaxy bass anywhere on the internet. No pics, nothing so I don't think thre are many of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The GS Galaxy guitars are fairly well known and respected (and still made I think), but I've never seen another bass version......wish I still had her!
