Giacomo Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 Found this in a local shop, decided to trade in a PRS electric guitar as a partial trade I have to say this bass is incredible, sound really articulate and the B strings is super tight I see there's not much talk about PRS basses on here, just wanted to share for future references 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 That looks really interesting, so you know what the pickups/electronics are? What's the scale length? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giacomo Posted August 9, 2020 Author Share Posted August 9, 2020 It's a 34 scale Pickups are custom made by PRS (same for all their electric guitars, they all mount custom made PUs) First 2 knobs are volume for pickup 1 and 2, push pull for active passive Last 3 knobs are usual 3 band EQ Works also full passive without batteries Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OliverBlackman Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 I recall that there were cheaper PRS SE models that didn’t seem to take off, but wasn’t this model quite expensive new? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giacomo Posted August 9, 2020 Author Share Posted August 9, 2020 I understood it first came as a Private Stock only product, which means $$$, 7-8k price tag, and that was only maple board (maybe I'm wrong here) Then they started both the production and SE models In Italy it's sold new between 4 and 4,5k eur, in US cost less, on reverb the ones available are quite expensive though Mine is a 2016 model Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grahambythesea Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 Was it well discounted as it has no strings? 🤪 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PatrickJ Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 @Giacomo - can you do a shot of the full fretboard please? I love PRS inlay designs and am curious to what's on this bass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giacomo Posted December 17, 2020 Author Share Posted December 17, 2020 I've fitted a set of Rotosound sound nice and articulate, but are a bit "low tension", any suggestion for another set I shall try? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
