fingerz Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 (edited) GB Spitfire 5 String. These basses have a great reputation. It has one of the strongest Low B's i've ever played. Here are the features: - Ash Body - Quilted Maple Top - Maple neck (flamed) - Birdseye Maple Fingerboard - Hipshot Lightweight tuners - Black Hardware - GB Custom Pickups - GB 18v Circuit Vol/Pan/Bass/Mid/Treble - Series/Parallel Switch - 'Pulse' Battery monitor - Through Body Stringing - Neutrik Locking Jack - 35" Scale - 24 Frets Its virtually unmarked. Two slight marks on the end of the headstock that I can't even photograph clearly. It has gone everywhere in a hard case and been very, very well looked after. The finish and build quality are second to none (as you probably know). The strings are all really even in terms of tone and tension. A true 5 string. It has that trademark GB slap tone and a real punch with finger style. Very versatile circuit for all styles and useful for compensating for a bad sounding room. Also the power of it is great for recording and it has always sounded great in the studio. It is light (around the 8 pound mark) and balances perfectly. Allways been a completely dependable bass. Sad to see it go. I'm selling the GB for £1100 I'm in Bucks but do travel around so give me a bell if you're interested. 07719154668 Thanks.
