All the other Spitfire basses I've seen were JJ configurations - I suppose as a custom bass you can order whatever pickups you want.

That's yet another lovely instrument. Best of luck in selling it.

[WishICouldWalk]

That looks the bomb. Much prefer painted instruments to exotic wood finishes. Good luck.

[Ian Davies]

Lovely bass! Good luck with the sale

Just cutting back  - I’m not playing that much at the moment due to another project I’ve got going.

[LukeFRC]

Still love the look of this for some reason 

[mrbacco]

It is a wonderful and very well kept bass, good luck!

The whole reason i became a bass player was a chap called David Spicer, he was the bass player in a country Duo my dad was part of.
i went to many gigs and was always stunned and amazed at the sound from the bass and the way it made my ribs shake
Mr Spicer played a Goodfellow bass that as i understand it he built himself in Bernies workshop (this may or may not be accurate it was 28 years ago i heard the story)
since then i've loved the look and sound for any of Bernie's creations

GLWS - whomever picks this up is going to love it
A GB Bass is on my hit list for after i win the lottery

[pbasspecial]

Oooohhhh. That’s lovely. I remember Bernie from this Thornton Heath days back in the late 80’s.

Did I miss the pickups ? P/J passive (brand ?) looks really nice

Really!? Mine's a HH (I think) as many others I've seen. It's super quiet and hi-fi sounding. 

[Orbs]

I can't believe that this hasn't gone yet, such a beautiful instrument, GLWTS!

How on earth has this not sold?
