munkonthehill Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 Hello forum and thanks for taking time to read my first posting on my first day of being a member. I have been plucking on basses for a few years now but only recently started to try and take it seriously and hoping to get a band together soon. I am playing a 3pickup humbucker vintage bass(lovely sound) and its being played through a pretty rubbish 30watt drive amp. I have also used a pandora px4 so i can have different amp sounds without the cost hahaha. if anyone replies to me and i dont get back to you its im not used to this forum outlay, but i was hoping someone could advise me of some blues riffs and patterns. thanks for reading and thanks in advance for any help or info i am given. Cheers Steven Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elom Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 Hello and welcome to the board. You'll find the locals friendly and happy to help. A 3 humbucker bass would be unusual. The bass in the link you posted has a J and P (split) pickup on it. ([url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bass_guitar#Magnetic_pickups"]see here for more pickup info[/url]) elom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
