ryan33 Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 Hi everyone, I am new to the forum and would like the help of the experts please. I bought an Epiphone bass guitar recently and would like to find out a bit more about it. I attach some pictures that I took today to help with the identification. Thanks Tom (Kent UK) Looks like my pictures are too large to upload so I will describe the bass as best I could. It is a White 4 string bass with three pickups (I large and two smaller ones) It has the wording Epiphone in large letters on the head with Gibson in small letters. It is a strung through the back of the body so does that make it a Rock Bass (never heard of this 'till I read about it on this site yesterday) I think the head is described as a hockeystick (again a new one on me) I am learning a lot since I joined yesterday. Take care Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulnb57 Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 Sounds like it might be one of these.. Epiphone Powerbass http://epiphonewiki.com/index.php/Power_Bass As a newbie to bass guitars you may be mistaking the amount of pickups, the 2 small ones count as one and are similar to those used on the Fender Precision Bass, the other pickup nearest to the bridge, is similar to that used on a Fender Jazz Bass. Hope this helps? Good luck with your new bass! Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeagleBoy Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 http://epiphonewiki.com/index.php/Power_Bass Paul, The //epiphonewiki 'link' appears to be broken. I've even tried "epiphonewiki.com", but this 'times-out' also. Is website/page "gone"? Thanks, Conrad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timothymic Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 I recently converted my tone pot into a bass cut pot for the neck pickup and put a dummy "tone pot on 10" in there as well since I didnt like the sound without the tone pot and gotta say its a fun project and sounds really great. 13701270_1164183893646334_923093027519951068_o.jpg 85.34 KiB Viewed 1565 times Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
