This is a search-engine-friendly text mirror of the TalkBass Forums mjw 09-16-2001, 08:16 AM Quick question folks, When someone refers to "soloing the PUPs", do they mean playing with the right hand over a particular PUP, or electronically switching one off and playing in your normal right hand position? Thanks. Mike *ToNeS* 09-16-2001, 08:25 AM yep, you got it right the second time - "soloing a pick-up" means to play with only one of them cranked and the other(s) completely off. a lot of bassists like to solo their back or bridge-placed pups, particularly for slapping.

The only one I can think of right now is Mark King, maybe Jonas Hellborg. Most slapping I've heard is done with 50/50 blend, or at least close to it. *ToNeS* 09-16-2001, 08:50 AM Originally posted by Oysterman Are they really that many, as in "a lot"?
