| | | | Talented 5 string metal players?
Sign in to disble this ad
Recently I have got alittle into metal. I play a 5 string and I want to know some good metal bassists that use a 5 string. Do not reccomend four string bassists (Cliff, Harris, Geddy, etc). Any genre of metal is fine. Also do not metion John Myung because he plays a 6 and I do already know some songs can be played on a 5. |

Also, Alex Webster from Cannibal Corpse. |

Robert Trujillo also used 5ers some of the time.
Jason Newstead used Shadowsky and Alembic 5ers almost 70% of the time. |

Unearth: Jon Maggard
Lamb of God: John Campbell
Dillenger Escape Plan: Liam Wilson
Zero Hour: Troy Tipton
The last guy nobody has heard of unless you're deep into the prog-death metal stuff, but they are an extremely talented band. Troy Tipton is probobly the best "shredder" that I heard in metal for some time now. He does a bunch of tap arpeggios and for the most part the band plays odd-time, exotic scales which really makes what he plays sound amazing. |

I don't think Martin from DT uses a 5, he didn't either time I've seen them. Awesome bassist though.
