ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BERNIE GOODFELLOW BASSES.
"Bernie was one of the first electric bass luthiers in Ireland. Bernie started building basses in his shed at the bottom of his garden.Out of the small starting of a hobby turned business, Bernie partnered with Mike Freston (Managing Director) and Phil Harris (of Star Guitars, regular contributor for a guitar magazine and owner of a sizeable collection of vintage guitars) to form what would become Goodfellow.
Following a run of prototypes (I believe 10-15 basses), the first Goodfellow basses (with serial numbers) were marketed. The prototypes were all slightly different in design as Bernie was still finalizing what would become the Goodfellow shape, the selection being a mixture of passive and then later, active basses. The whereabouts of these original pre serial basses are unknown, they may still be with either Mike or Phil. If they were to surface, although they are without serial number, they do bear Bernie's signature. The marketed basses (i.e. the ones with serial numbers) were of two designs; the Player and the Classic.
The Classic is a Goodfellow that has pretty facings, usually quilted maple, elm burr, poplar burr which were all book matched to give the bass it's attractive front. This facing was flanked by another 2mm veneer before being glued to the main core body. There are a few rare examples out there that have both front and rear facings.
