Bass Guitar
Ok so I played rythmn guitar in a *horrors* grunge band for 5 years from 1993-1998 when I was a teenager, it included some Guns n Roses and being and Aussie of course we played a bit of AC/DC...
since 1998 I kinda just strummed at home and have gottenbored of guitar... and wanna learn bass...
so what brand would be good or even models... for the death metal sound as a newbie?
Cheers  |

My bassist and I went to a local shop to try out a lot of different basses. Our findings were that Peavey Grind basses are nice for the money. However, we ended up buying a Schecter Stieletto Custom-4. Great sound and feel.

On another note my buddy has a warlock bass and i have played that and it's really decent. I have played an SG bass as well and that was crisp.
Also the best thing to do is to find out what band tone you like the best and steal their shit lol. Nah find some bass tones in bands you like and find out whats going on with their gear. I did that with my set up. It's a mix of all sorts of bands that i dig. Also being comfortable with the gear is good. The head, cabinet and guitar i own alone sound really heavy. But it's the little things that advance your tone all around. Good luck. Do some internet pummeling and research some stuff.
Cheers

Grind basses are sex. I'm about to mod mine, and it's gonna sound incredible with and onboard preamp. You wait and see.
Try the Ibanez Soundgear 500, 505, or 506, depending on your string preference. Full Bartolini setup, Bubinga/Wenge neck, Wenge Fingerboard, Maple body, a tight B string on the 5- and 6-string versions... what more could you ask for? Professional-sounding basses for $500-$600.
By the way...
THERE'S ALREADY A THREAD FOR THIS! |
