Lysdexia Posted September 29, 2008 Posted September 29, 2008 I had the pleasure to be hired to shoot a collection of vintge, rare and classic guitars and basses. Here's a PRS that I really, really wish was mine. It plays even better than it looks. If any of you ever want your cherished basses photographed - gimme a shout Quote
Kiwi Posted September 29, 2008 Posted September 29, 2008 how ON EARTH did you manage to get rid of all the fingerprints?! Quote
OutToPlayJazz Posted September 29, 2008 Posted September 29, 2008 Now that looks like a million dollars (and would probably cost a similar amount, being a PRS!!) Quote

And yes I do photo shoots for bands, musicians and gear all the time. One of many brilliant things about being a musician/photographer. Edited October 1, 2008 by Lysdexia Quote

The Burpster Posted October 3, 2008 Posted October 3, 2008 Despite not being a fan of Cherry red tanslucent, I have just had an embarassing but not entirely unpleasent miss-hap in my undergarments! Very nice pics...... Wanna spill the beans on who's collection this baby sits in? I like to keep tabs on my 2's brothers....... Quote
ezbass Posted October 4, 2008 Posted October 4, 2008 Ooh that's dirty!!! PRS should bring out that bass in their SE range, I loved the J electronics meets 'Ray body vibe, but not the price. Quote

And whilst you say you dont like the price, they are not as dear as you might think (although buying a new one in teh UK when they were available was quite expensive) there is currently a nice 2001 EB IV on thatbay for $1100 ........ A bargain if you are prepared to take a bit of a gamble buying from the US ..... Quote
mr_russ Posted October 4, 2008 Posted October 4, 2008 Very nice - but what's going on with the stringing at the headstock? :wacko: Quote

Either that or someone was powdering their nose at the time they were stringing it...... Shhheeeeesh you cant trust some folks to sit the right way on a toilet seat can you....... Quote

Quote
The Burpster Posted October 6, 2008 Posted October 6, 2008 It puts (a lot) less strain on the nut and provides a constant break angle which we all know provides less string intonation/ tuning / breakdown problems.... Thats why so many designers go to quiite a bit of trouble to get the strings lined up without infringing someone elses headstock shape and hence patent..... Stringing like that method above is asking (no begging) to break a nut..... Be my guest try it...... Quote
