Houndog Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Hello from Edinburgh Scotland, I have been playing for a couple of decades now mostly accoustic blues/slide guitar and jumped onto the 4 string in '06 as I thought it would be more fun - and it is ! Play mostly in r&b, soul , blues bands and I am starting to write , mine is the last tune on this Scottish comp cd [url="http://youtu.be/fbFX-MELqkU"]http://youtu.be/fbFX-MELqkU[/url] My gear is a 2007 Fender Jaguar for my main bass, a cute '74 Mustang for practice and a De Pinto Belvedere for emergencies. I have a 400 watt Euphonic combo which does just great and a Laney Linebacker 110w as backup. So I thought I would join here and learn and chat a bit.

BassTractor Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 (edited) Hey Houn, Welcome! In my 1.3 years as a future bass player, and a couple of decades as a bass lover, I've never even heard about the DiPintos. Any good? Don't be shy, and feel welcome to show us a pic of it. Also, please share some knowledge and some stories from your couple of decades. Enjoy the site! best, bert Edited February 11, 2013 by BassTractor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Houndog Posted February 11, 2013 Author Share Posted February 11, 2013 (edited) Hello Bert, thanks for the hiya . And here is a pic of the kind I have got . [url="http://www.dipintoguitars.com/images/menu-b-belvstandard.jpg"]http://www.dipintogu...elvstandard.jpg[/url] And here is a review. As with all semi bodies it does rattle and hum , but that doesnt carry through to the amp. A long neck and a bit unbalanced at times . The neck is painted rather than varnished so it does feel a bit retro. Good fun though and whilst I havent gigged with it I would think it would do fine. Here are the specs. [b]Body:[/b] Mahogany [b]Neck:[/b] Maple [b]Fingerboard:[/b] Ebony with dot inlay and white binding [b]Construction:[/b] Bolt on neck on semi hollow body [b]Frets:[/b] 22 [b]Scale:[/b] 34" [b]Pickup:[/b] Two chrome single coils [b]Selector:[/b] Three position toggle switch [b]Controls:[/b] One volume, one tone [b]Bridge:[/b] Tune-o-matic with trapeze tailpiece [b]Tuners:[/b] Enclosed gear, pearl button machines [b]Colors:[/b] Gold & Black or Black & White [b]Pickguard:[/b] Clear And a review.

Leen2112 Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Orite Hound? Hows the Edinburgh scene for you then? My band are from there too but I doubt we'd play the same venues. Do you ever play the Hebrides Pub...just round the bottom from the Malt shovel? Lots of good Scottish folk and blues there. Lots to learn here....and its good to chat. Cheers Leen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Houndog Posted February 12, 2013 Author Share Posted February 12, 2013 Thanks Leen, yes I know those bars , not played those but have at The Royal Oak! But things are a tad tight for music with fewer joints putting on gigs , the move is to open mics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
