This is it. My friends took a cheapo yamaha rbx from a pawn shop and "modded" it. So if anyone ever asks... This is, without a doubt, the best bass for metal.

I think you mean, 'The Best metal for bass'
Nothing beat the resonance and warm sound of a hollow, metal body.

So how did he do the body modifications> Looks like he let a guinea pig chew on it for a few months.

Yeah. He didn't sand it down before painting. On purpose I think.

Come on. man! It's all about how cool and heavy it looks! Not to mention that metal will obviously give it lots of attack and stuff since that's what they make axes and swords out of....very metal stuff! ;)

What if we drew some zombies and pentagrams on there? Would it be metal enough then? :D

Needs Pentagrams, for sure. Zombies are too punk.
