3 string, 2 string, no string guitars

Friend of a Friend · 30th October 2003, 05:38 PM

Hey anyone a fan of the Presidents of the USA? If so have u ever played any stuff?

I've recently been learning loads, they use a 3 string tuned to Db Ab Db and a 2 string tuned to Db Ab. So much fun to play, I never really appreciated them till I started learning to play their stuff.

Also if anyone is clued up on this, what would the 2 string os Bassitar go into? A bass amp? I'm assuming so but not sure. Anyone seen them or in the know?

no idea mate. when i play their stuff i normally just tune half a step down (with the Eb tuned down to C#) and play it like that.
it's all good stuff.

Here's an old interview with Chris for Bass Player:

He apparently used a 65w bass amp for the bassitar.
