First off, wrong section. You may want to post bass guitar related questions in the actual section dedicated to just Bass guitars, as its labeled as such.

For the bass, if it feels right then buy it. If its at a guitar shop; I'd see if they do rentals, then rent it for a week, take it home and give it a good workout. If you're generally quite happy with it, then go ahead. Its too easy to rush into a purchase at a guitar store if you're feeling pressured.

Ok I have seen you post this same thing 3 times now! What is not sinking in? I'm beginning to think you should probably play drums at this point. Probably suit your OCD better.

No, don't get the Stagg. Get a used bass. An Ibanez SR. People have told you this before, so I think you should listen.

I think he meant to ask " is this the best thread for metal"

Then repeated it a few times along the way.

Get it! Seriously, dude, buy that bass. It's the best bass for Metal. That bass is so Metal you'll have to play it with oven mitts!!
Get it, rock it, and never look back!

Once you've got that rockin beast in you hands, you'll never have to ask about it again! You'll be too busy rockin'!
