Bass Guitar Trivia!

RickenbackerBassPlayer · 07-08-2008, 07:58 PM

Hey, This is the thread where I will ask you questions about bass guitar players, companys, activities, or history. I will have everyone's name on this first post and I will keep a score. Every week or so I will say congrats to the person with the highest score. It is easy, I ask anything and all you do is write the answer before someone else.
P.S. I will note if it is worth more than one point.

Sure, I'll participate, but I must admit, my knowledge of bass guitar trivia is pretty low.

RickenbackerBassPlayer · 07-08-2008, 08:17 PM

Its ok if your not a bass guitar god. Ill add your name.

Kameraad Pannekoek · 07-08-2008, 08:52 PM

I'm no expert, but I'm game.

MusicMan · 07-08-2008, 08:54 PM

How about just start asking trivia questions and keep a tally of whoever answers however many right? Seems more logical than waiting a few days just for people to say they're in, but nobody comes back because there aren't any questions to answer.

RickenbackerBassPlayer · 07-08-2008, 09:00 PM

I start with a easy one

.

What company that makes bass guitars made Geddy Lee's signiture bass before he started using a Fender?

MusicMan · 07-08-2008, 09:08 PM

Rickenbacker

Kameraad Pannekoek · 07-08-2008, 09:08 PM

Didn't he use a Rickenbacker 4001 for a good long while?

Edit: Dang it, MM, you're too fast. Go to bed.

Next,

Bass guitar player, Tony Franklin, uses a Fender P bass. he does lots of cutom work on it. But there is one main feature that makes his sound so different. What is that feature?

Paul McCartney (probably spelled it wrong. I suck at name spelling.

Edit: I guess I don't all that much.

RickenbackerBassPlayer · 07-08-2008, 09:41 PM

Correct, and another point for Zephyr.

Victor Wooten plays a few types of basses made by a company, one of the models are called Ying-Yang, what company makes these basses?

Dang it, I know this. It was in my Bass magazine recently. Like Fedora or Fodera or some variation of those letters.

MusicMan · 07-08-2008, 09:42 PM

Fodera

I did technically beat you though, in a way
