bassamp Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 (edited) Hi, hopefully pantherairsoft doesn't mind me using their ad and photos I have had this bass for a few months, it is an absolute cracker, very light and well balanced. It sounds absolutely kick ass and looks like a work of art. I have been after an Epiphone Rivoli for a while and I have just bought one from basschat so I am selling this to pay for it. [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]This was the prototype for the Concertogrosso model line. Like all Prometeus basses, it was hand built in Italy. It's been well played, but is in good cosmetic condition with just light marks throughout (a few on the back which are almost invisible thanks to the grain, and some marks where the picking finger has been rested etc). Here is the spec...[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Prometeus Concertogrosso Prototype[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]30" Scale[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Flamed Ash body[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Flamed Ash neck (set neck)[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Padouk fretboard[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Wenge Top[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Volume & Passive Tone[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Custom Alnico5 Pickup - 8 coils (2 per string) all wired in series, for high output.

Access to the upper register is excellent and the bass plays fast. Tonally speaking the passive tone control really shifts between two core tones, both are very usable, one with a touch of sparkle - this bass has a MEAN slap tone - and one slightly warmed and more 'old school'. It has enough versatility to sit in most live band mixes. The bass fits happily in a regular guitar case, and a good quality leather case is included.[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]I am happy to ship to the UK only[/font][/color] [attachment=210068:3665A48C-8EB6-4DF7-875B-3B018C075B19_zpsimq3pzrv.jpg][attachment=210071:3665A48C-8EB6-4DF7-875B-3B018C075B19_zpsimq3pzrv.jpg][attachment=210072:493CD932-12E7-4095-A287-CFAAE3BA8E37_zpspccukwbm.jpg][attachment=210073:B599CE5E-7FFF-442B-BF4B-ED807B02D3F7_zps5jhaii7q.jpg][attachment=210069:3A0284A7-A753-4E2D-8259-C50507027BD5_zpsf3kd4bpo.jpg][attachment=210074:C5DBAAFA-4C47-4848-BC8B-D10BF437594C_zpskbcnuese.jpg][attachment=210070:160D23A9-881A-48F2-95D8-5622308BCB91_zpsybylmgvq.jpg][attachment=210075:C6AB1497-5A92-43A5-A54F-E2E29C79EB76_zpspnen2ql7.jpg][attachment=210076:CBBE615E-656B-42C8-999E-5084ECC789F1_zpszy3lpbps.jpg][attachment=210077:3A081B6D-180B-4F41-BD4D-5AE69EC24B71_zpsolxikzhs.jpg][attachment=210078:DA30B462-12C9-45C7-AFE7-30A4C5DBE5B8_zpsusfiyfeu.jpg] Edited January 23, 2016 by bassamp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Byo Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 (edited) [quote name='Twincam' timestamp='1453465815' post='2959716'] Is it me or is the neck really chunky? [/quote] I really like it but the neck is the only thing that puts me off by looking only at the photos, I have small hands and play Jazz necks mainly. What are the specs for the neck?

bassamp Posted January 22, 2016 Author Share Posted January 22, 2016 The neck is somewhere between a precision and jazz and quite flat. The neck is really quick to play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
