Russell Pritchard's Gear
Russell Pritchard uses the Fender Bassman Pro 8x10'' Bass Cabinet, renowned for its powerful bass output ideal for large venues. This cabinet features eight 10” Eminence neodymium-magnet speakers, a compression driver horn with attenuator, and a lightweight plywood enclosure with classic Fender '60s styling. As detailed on Fender's official site, it is rated at 2,000 watts program (1,000 watts continuous) at 4 ohms, making it a robust choice for professional performance.
In this 2012 photo of Pritchard performing with Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds, one of the items visible in Pritchard's rack is the Avalon U5 preamp.
One of the most powerful and versatile bass amps Fender has ever created, the Super Bassman is a stadium-level 300-watt tube head designed for the biggest shows and the largest stages, with enormous Fender bass sound and sparkling vintage Fender looks. Perfect for stage and studio alike, its dual-channel design uses modern technology to maximize classic technology, with classic Fender '60s "blackface" styling and a wealth of innovative features on the front and rear panels.
Features include a tube preamp (two 12AX7s) and power amp (one 12AX7, one 12AT7, six 6550s); Vintage channel that delivers the full, warm sound of a classic Fender passive tone stack; Overdrive channel that delivers the aggressive and responsive sound of a modern active tone stack (choose between channels with included footswitch); rear-panel Fender Automatic Bias system that constantly monitors and re-biases tubes for perfect performance and alerts you when service is required; Speaker Output switch that can be set to “Mute” to turn speaker off and record silently using preamp tone from the XLR output; Impedance switch (8, 4 or 2 ohms) and master volume control with push/pull mute.
The Rickenbacker bass is used for The Importance of Being Idle in the majority, if not all, of the performances with Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds
