I've been lucky enough to be allowed to play two Prescott basses- the next time I see these gentlemen and their basses I will ask if it's okay to take a pic or two to post.

Tom Wolf built a Prescott copy that there is a picture of on his web site. Beautiful Bussetto!

Given the chance I would own one (or a nice copy) too!

Hebert's playing a Prescott? Last time I heard him it was a Juzek. And I'm pretty sure that's the bass he had altered to a removable neck model...

Maybe a bit off topic, but for the Prescott fanatic, this might be cool. I think I posted it a few years back.
Did he put the same labels in his basses?

How have I missed this thread??

I've had mine since 2003. It's a rare smaller 3/4 gamba model (perfect for me since I'm only 5'6") but the deep 9" ribs give it the equivalent of a 7/8 resonating cavity.

It changed my life...

Jeff Bolbach called mine the "ultimate Jazz bass"
