    What's the most common bass used by metal bassists?

    Really, it doesn't matter what bass you use...it's HOW you use it. For example,: King ov Hell from Gorgoroth uses Musicman basses and peaveys. Frank Bello from Anthrax uses Fender p/j basses. Alot of the stuff is from the pickups used. I use my five string j bass for everything. The pickups...

    Megadeth Bass Tones!

    First off, any bass with two split Ps is decent. J-Lo's warwicks are set up in a similar configuration to that of BC Rich basses, so, even bc rich basses would do fine. If you want a tone similiar to Elefson, you could use a bc rich (like I mentioned above) or any bass with a split p/single...

    Thanks man! I actually play a five string. My favorite bass lines by Markus are probably Keeper of the Seven Keys, Halloween, King for A thousand years, and Rise and Fall (which is extremely fun to play! WALKING BASSLINES GALORE!)
