neepheid Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 As I gazed thoughtfully at my Gibson G-3, I thought to myself "you don't see many basses with 3 (or more) pickups". I thought it might be fun to try and list as many as I could. Feel free to add any I've missed Gibson G-3 EBMM Big Al Fender Urge Danelectro Hodad Burns Bison (and Marquee and others) Ibanez JTKB300 Can anyone think of any others?

risingson Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 (edited) There used to be a bass in my Uni, it had 4 single coils, had an Italian type name? It sounded bloody terrible. EDIT - could have been a DiPinto but I don't think it was. Edited November 10, 2010 by risingson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Musicman20 Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 After being dubious about the Big Al, after testing one for a weekend, I can definitely say the 'strat' style 3 single coils works very well on a bass, as long as they 'get it right' so to speak.

[attachment=63557:mockup_mad.jpg] But seriously, if you think about it any HS bass has 3 pups in it because inside that humbucker sits 2 very separate pups....

juice Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 At first I thought there was someone else with a seafoam green prs bass, then I realised this is mine!! so does that count as a +1? hope your keeping well, must have been 4 years ago I bought the prs off you?

fragglefart Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 I won a Fret-King Blue Label Ventura Super 80 Bass a while back, that has three pickups. Great fun to play with some of the meaty sounds you can coax from the humbucker & P combination. Interesting shape too, the finish is decent - bloody heavy though! 'scuse the crappy pic!
