Awesome, how does it sound?
Don't suppose we can get a recording? :)

It's great. The fuzz function isn't as great as I had hoped, but it's pretty cool.

Maybe. I won't be allowed to use a digital camera to take a video. For one thing, it's my mom's. For another thing, I have no idea how to work it. Maybe if I get a USB guitar chord I'll do it.

Ok, quick question. If I get a bass, should I go for a Gibson or a Fender?

In my opinion, neither. You have to go to some shops to try out some different basses. If you HAVE to choose, try a Gibson and a Fender. See which one you like better.

Personally, I hate Gibson basses, but it's your choice.

Fender. Every practical Gibson bass is a shortscale, and shortscale's are not as awesome as full scale basses. The Thunderbird is a good bass and has a full scale, but it is too damn heavy for practical playing, and they are useless for slapping. Go with a nice solid Fender Jazz or Precision, they are the world's best selling basses for a reason.

Ok, I'm getting some suggestions, but what would be a good bass for playing Metal?

Whatever you feel comfortable on really.

I never have liked the look of Fender basses myself. But for metal music you may wanna look at a 5 string. I have one and she plays nicely

woot! a Wal 6 string fretless for me!
ill join....hey anyone heard of a bassist called Gary Willis?

Wal's are often very nice basses. I played the supposed oldest surviving Wal 5 String bass that belongs to a guy my dad has worked with.

Yup, I've heard some Tribal Tech, very good band I must say.

Actually, I've been thinking I'd like to go for a 5-string. I'll probably check out guitar cCenter, because that's where I got my 2nd guitar, my Metal Master Warlock, which is a good guitar for what I paid.

hi, ive been playin for about a year and a half, can anyone recommend an good songs to play?

Hey guys.
I have a Peavey Millennium BXP 5-String Bass. What are your thoughts about it?
And I have a question. How can I tell if my jazz bass is an authentic Fender Jazz Bass? It looks exactly like one but its been painted, so I cant tell if its a Fender or Squire. Help! Pics (not my actual ones) below.

I join the club!

Check the neckplate (The piece of metal at the join of the neck and body.)

Hello thar.

Me samick and the fender jazz sounded exactly the same, same price, same everything.
But Fender is too overdone, I've been down that road a hundred times, you need a new spark, new sizzle. Koreans. Hell Yeah.

Eh, I want to pick this baby up.

I once saw Cronos tear it up on a red one.

Meh, not my cup of tea.

Can somebody give me an opinion on this bass? It's the one I've been looking into recently.

Ibanez SR300FM

Nah, Cronos's was a beaity, it was solid red, with great pick-ups.

For the price of 220 that is certainly not bad
And plus i love maple
So go for it

Thanks, I've been looking into it for a while but I wanted a second opinion. The last Ibanez I got played well then I switched to a Platium Warlock (BC Rich) I think it's good but heavy and quite awkward standing up.

I'm gonna go for a Dean V. And give it a dark indigo paintjob. Psychemetal.

I'm just not into Deans, I must say.

When searching for a bass, my brother played a Dean and said that it was great. I'm not sure which one, though.
