M-Bass-M Posted July 28, 2015 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
obbm Posted July 28, 2015 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
M-Bass-M Posted July 28, 2015 Author 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
Rumple Posted July 28, 2015 Posted July 28, 2015 I've learned something today, I had no idea that such a system existed! Quote

ezbass Posted July 28, 2015 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

obbm Posted July 28, 2015 Posted July 28, 2015 Looked like he was playing a Smith during the Jools Swing Band gig from Blackpool shown on Sunday. Quote
M-Bass-M Posted July 28, 2015 Author Posted July 28, 2015 Funnily enough, last night he was playing his [url="http://www.daveswiftbass.com/pages/basses/ibanezmusicman.html"]Ibanez Musician[/url]. Quote

Guest MoJo Posted July 28, 2015 Posted July 28, 2015 Steve Harris would have to have the entire stage covered in those platforms, the amount of running about he does Quote

[/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
