This is THE bass for metal.

You can even pull the trigger while you are playing it. Really cool concept and effectively solves the which bass is best for metal question.

slinging 2500fps metal from your bass would rock!

That is cool since you can't really hear bass in metal.

I think that bass would be better for Country music.

Guns = Country Music
Medieval Weapons = Metal

Wow. I don't like metal, I don't like steampunk, but that ESP is awesome!

A machine gun bass would be best for hip-hop, though. For country you want a deer rifle bass or a shotgun bass. For metal, yeah, like Jive1 says, something medieval. Axe basses have been overdone, though, so maybe a catapult? Or a trebuchet?

So I love the guitar strap but hate the bass. but imagine how heavy that strap would be ha. and im kind of a gun nut and it doesnt look right. Its got a g36 style sight rail with a thompson style stock. and the rest is modeled after an ak47. If they made a all g36 bass i might buy one ha.

THAT IS AWESOME!! ( and I NEVER thought I would think that! )
that esp guitar is strangely alluring too, and I usually go for classic and understated.

That AK bass reminds me of Tosh's M16 guitar. Are you ready for the Bush Doctor?

Any bass in the right hands can be used as a weapon.

ps. I would play a bass shaped like a two-handed greatsword, or I'd just get a warwick katana, even though its not shaped like one it has the name - so I guess its a poser bass.

I thought that the best bass for metal was a Fender Jazz Bass (although, to be fair, it's the best bass for everything).

+1, used to love seeing those guys, but their last album seemed a little too "breakdown-ey" for me.
