It was made in 2001 but I bought it brand new, sealed in the box, from the US last year for £1150 including all tax and carriage - absolute steal. Never bought an instrtument ''blind'' before but no regrets with this. The pickups are PRS own 'high output' passive units. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did PRS make a 5 as standard or was it Private Stock only? Edited February 5, 2009 by High score Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juice Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 heres a couple of quick pics, bass is signed on the rear cover and back of headstock as this was a custom order.... [attachment=19835:headstock.jpg] [attachment=19836:main.jpg] [attachment=19834:back.jpg] PRS did do some production 5'ers, If I was to order a Private Stock it would be a 6 string based on the KL series guitar or maybe the modern eagle 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Burpster Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 HS, That is lovely and let me know if you ever need to part with her.... I seriously like the Swampy bodied ones.... I think I had better take a pic of all 4 of mine together now having a little group hug ..... BTW I have booked in the neck of my latest one to be epoxied by HG Thor, so now I just have to wait and wait.... BTW-2- I was quoted a deposit of $3k (when the exchange rate was waaaay better) before I could even start to spec a GG 5 bass, and then there was pretty much no limit ( a bit like buying a Rolls Royce, "if you have to ask how much it is, you cant afford it!"). P-O-T, I've not see a Chery Red one, I'm not normally a 'red' person but that is very attractive..... Dodge's Curly is perdy isn't it ..... :wub: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep - get yours posted on this thread - I know you have put them up already but be nice to see a collection growing - especially with the red, sea foam and curly top to kick it off - all of them quite striking. If the exchange rates do improve I might go shopping again in the US as well. Don't think there will be many new ones in the main stream stores now to be honest but there is a fair few appear as used in mint condition. So get your finger out and launch your piccies !!!!

I have been told that £4-5k would be a good starting price for a PS and that would also be the cost to replicate the bass I have should I need to.

They're... well.. different! The onboard preamp is just crazy, SO much bass it's not really usable, plus the neck pickup is very odd sounding. Almost sine-wave like. I tend to use a Yamaha NE-1 parametric box to tone things down somewhat - but it's a lovely bass when you get to grips with it. Here's some more PRS's from my collection (6 strings though!)

juice Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 [quote name='Dodge' post='402694' date='Feb 7 2009, 11:16 AM'][/quote] that makes me wish I had never sold my black eg4 when I moved to bass.. nice collection tho my friend I have been told they did an EG4 in seafoam green as standard so I might have to keep an eye out for one to match my custom bass. juice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
