M-Bass-M Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 So last night I went to see the rather excellent Jools Holland, and unsurprisingly spent most the night watching Mr Swift. One of the things that got my curiosity was his amp setup. In the following image, can anybody tell me what that box is that he has on top of his amp? I saw him fiddle with it every now and again, but couldn't work out what impact it was having. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obbm Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 It's the power amp fro his KT platform. [url="http://www.porteranddavies.co.uk/KTPOverviewPage.html"]http://www.porteranddavies.co.uk/KTPOverviewPage.html[/url] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M-Bass-M Posted July 28, 2015 Author Share Posted July 28, 2015 Ah, good stuff. Similar I guess to the Tecamp Pleasure Board that is available at Bass Direct? Makes sense for his setup has as per the photo, he only had a single cabinet with him on stage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ezbass Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Mr Swift using a Roscoe Beck V? The last I saw in a magazine he was sporting a Sadowsky 5 string P type in an Aguilar ad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

obbm Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Looked like he was playing a Smith during the Jools Swing Band gig from Blackpool shown on Sunday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I had to look it up as soon as I got home as I didn't recognise it. At first I thought it may have been a WAL, but was certainly surprised to find out that out of his vast collection of basses, he's chosen to gig with an Ibanez. Slightly disappointed that he wasn't rocking either his Dingwall or his Anthony Jackson Fodera, but there you go! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
