  1. Past hour
  2. Swamp Ash Prototype. This is the one I thought I wouldn’t sell! It is a 2001 Electric bass with Swamp Ash body and Maple/Rosewood neck with bird inlays. So here is the special bit. When I saw it for sale at Absolute Music I thought there was something unusual about the serial number. I contacted the support team at Stevensville and here is the story. When Mr Smith has an idea for a new guitar model he keeps either the prototype or one of the production models and keeps them in the factory music room. The design for the EB4 had been settled and was in production but he wanted to try a Swamp Ash body, this is the prototype. It was not initially issued a serial number and only when a smart broker convinced PRS to sell some of the guitars in that room that this one made the cut. At that point it was issued the serial number 150. This is easily established by contacting the Support center at the factory. I have one of the production Swamp Ash models which was the first EB 4 I bought. This model is pretty much NOS and is mint. The only thing apart from cleaning and periodic playing is fitting GHS flatwound 105 strings which IMHO brings out the true tone of the SwampAsh body. I really dont like the idea of sending it so would prefer a meet up or collection and trial first hand. It really is special instrument and worth every penny of £1500 especially safe in the knowledge that Mr Smith himself thought it good enough to keep.
  3. Maybe I don't know, I don't use them. But its worth trying to rule out what is causing the issue. Does the AH have an external power supply or a proper plug?
  4. Does the pickup come with an output transformer as circa 250 Ohms will be a challenge to use with traditional amps?

  6. Thanks, Mokl. I was running two as a vertical stack – best live sound I've ever had!
  7. The DM610 is a large bookshelf/standmount speaker from renowned hi-fi brand B&W, featuring a well-braced 30-litre sealed cabinet with 8-inch mid-bass driver. The larger driver and extra cabinet space create a much better low end range than from most similar speakers. This model allows for either bi-wiring or bi-amplification. These speakers present clean tight bass response, surprisingly clear mids for such a large driver and the pleasant highs that the well-designed B&W tweeter at that time was famous for. They can be driven quite loud, enough for the physical effect of the bass to be felt without audible distortion or a sense of sound compression. Both speakers are in Very Good condition, especially for their vintage. All-original, complete with full grilles (one of which has a small hole, shown in the final photo). Only £125. Collection from Bournemouth BH6 preferred. Here comes the science bit… Type: 2-way closed, shelf speaker Colour: Ash black veneer Dimensions: 490 x 236 x 303 mm (H x W x D) Weight: 7.8 kg Recommended amplifier power: 30-150 W Frequency response: 70 - 20,000 Hz (±2 dB) Crossover: 2500 Impedance: 4 Ohm
  8. I was referring to the positioning. Ultimately any passive circuit unless you are using rick-o-sound the tones affect the other pickup. Gibsons are far worse because the volume affects the other pickup too!
  9. Oh, I so need those! Our speaker stands get yellow/black hazard tape stuck on the front-most leg for some gigs.
  10. You get those AJD lit up speaker stands, looks like that: https://www.gear4music.com/PA-DJ-and-Lighting/ADJ-Colour-Stand-LED-Speaker-Stand-With-LED-Legs/27VU
  11. Can you mark it as sold then by editing the title and adding the word sold to the end?
  12. Fantastic review, thanks for taking the time to write such a detailed overview, helped me make my mind up on the amp!
  13. Hello! I am interested in this bass! Still available? Thank you in advance! If you want I give you my mail and we talk there! A greeting, Denis L.P.
  14. It’s a hand made artisan product. That’s probably a fair price. Well done got following through on something like this and doing what you. Best of luck with it!
  15. Great-sounding bass cabinet in excellent condition, complete with a brand-new £75 branded cover. I bought this from here a few years ago, and it has served me extremely well. I’ve recently moved to a pair of Barefaced 110s, so this cab is now surplus to requirements. The cabinet is in excellent cosmetic condition, has been lightly used, and is in perfect working order with no issues. Power handling: 600W @ 8 ohms Weight: 17kg Tone: Big, warm bottom end with plenty of clarity Use: A few jazz gigs and home/practice room use only This is a sale only — no trades, please. Collection only from London SW13.
  16. I agree with some of what you say, but I don't regard gigging as a "privilege". I'm experienced/good enough to be worthy of my place on the stage. Whether people like what I do is another matter, of course, but that's their choice. It doesn't alter the fact that I do what I do competently. For much of my life, music has been a sideline that earns me extra money, although I have had a few periods during which it was my sole source of income. However, I wanted to be able to pay a mortgage, have a family, etc, so I kept a day job for the majority of the time. I also made it clear above that I'm not opposed to turning out for charity, so it's not a case of saying no to charities and focusing on paid gigs. I make monthly donations to a few charities and am happy, provided the cause is one I have sympathy for, to turn out and play for free on occasion. However, the fact that my band may be willing to give our time and effort does not entitle people to treat us without respect. Covering basic expenses (we're not talking 5 star hotel stays and expensive dinners) is part of that respect.
  17. Here we have a Kala U bass 5 string solid body which has the Kala gig bag which come with it. These are just incredible for their size and punch well above their weight in sound and this 5 string version is excellent. Light, compact and so easy to play, just needs a new home where it will be played more. Plastic still on pick guard, so it’s just about immaculate at less than half the price. I have the box it was shipped in so can post it - UK only though.

  18. I dismissed any Bluetooth headphones because of the latency problems when using them for practice, I've managed to repair my old Audio Technica ATH WS-1100's, so far the glue is holding
  19. I personally have no issue with playing for free at charity gigs; music isn't my job so I have no pay expectations and indeed expect there to be out-of-pocket costs. I do actually have want to support and be associated with the charity, though, as I see those costs as a tacit contribution to their fundraising budget (spent immediately by them on entertainment for that event) and any photographs of me under their banner as being a much stronger indication of my personal support for their cause than, say, a bartender photographed at the same event. If I wouldn't smile for the camera as I put £50 in their collection bucket then I wouldn't play the gig as I see them as broadly the same gesture.
  20. Over 10 years ago we did a fund raiser for the Teenage Cancer Trust following the death of the daughter of a couple that the band knew, it was quite high profile locally and the local MP popped in, it was well-attended and was part of a series of events that the couple did to raise funds for TCT. I was told on the day that they'd raised over £1600 just at the event we played. There was a photo of the couple in the local rag after these events presenting a big mock cheque for around £400 to TCT. A friend of mine checked and that was the only donation made by them, so where the money raised at the event that we played went and what happened to the cash raised at the other events we can only guess. As you might imagine, this has coloured my attitude towards any event where I'm donating time/money.
  21. Hello! Back to Bass (and BC) after around 15 years. Unable to get into old account as lot access to my previous email address. Anyway! Not played in 15 years or so since I finished college. Been relearning, re familiarising myself over the past 6 months or so. Already had a little bout of GAS. With a young kid and time to only play late after work and bedtime I use a fender mustang micro plus (love this, wish it existed when I was first learning!). I use a Fender Vintera 70s Jazz bass and a Fender 51 reissue P bass (MIJ) - Picked the 51 up from a fellow BC user on ebay but forgotten the username.
  22. Today
  23. Not at all Daryl. Age is just a number and while the options are there for you then take them with open arms. Dave
  24. Just my tuppence. The X series features STELLAR.45 driver, which isn't the same the good old DT xx0 Pro ones you mentioned before utilise. This STELLAR.45 sounds and feels different to old ones, as well as is only available with impedance of 48Ω. Some people like this, the others don't. Having tried both 700 Pro X and 770 Pro X, I clearly prefer good old DT 770 Pro 250Ω.
