Hey everyone, I was thinking about getting a 5 string fretless and going for the E to C thing, should that be as...simple as it sounds? :D This would also be my first fretless and was wondering what type of string is usually better. Thanks all!

Delicious.

So guys, i was just wondering, how do alot of these genre's get a REALLY deep, low but very boomy tone. Im aware some of them actually use computers and keyboards but plenty still use basses. I was just wondering what is the correct effect for it? Thanks guys.

Sorry, i know this topic has been done to death a thousand times before, i have searched around a little before people tell me to do so ;). Meh atleast its different to the same 'club' threads right? :hiding: So, recently i have been very tempted to buy a 6 string, mainly for the higher...

Put the bass on ebay for 5 times what its worth before hand :)

It's not shopped...Its on the Metallica website and unless they start posting pictures of James with long hair (in 2009) then they dont put up photoshops.

I hear its fingers, but...that would seem a lot harder to play, infact the bass line is perfect for slap and pop style.

Argh, this is so annoying. Due to the constant barrage of people calling people that use a pick 'not bassists' people are actually scared to use a pick? Seriously if its your getting a tone which you like from using a pick...go ahed, infact use it whenever you want. Like JimmyM said, its very...

I think those are a bit expensive :P

Wow thanks for all your info! It helped a lot. Tbh, the £1 does not equal $2 anymore, its more like...$1.7. Also, its not that i want a Ampeg, its just that i heard a lot of great stuff about them (except these recent move to oversea's) so i thought it would be a great place to look. If...

Bump :)

My budget is 350-450ish pounds (£). I was originally planning on getting a Ampeg BA115HPT? one of their tube combo's (100w/200w depending on how much i have) as i was really looking for a tube amp that isn't very expensive... Before i had the luxury of just being able to play through my...

That picture of Trujilio is not fake, its on the Met Club picture album.

Now first of all guys dont say go to your local store :P Because my local stores suck >.< Unless i go all the way into London. Now my budget is around...£400-£700. I just got a 08 Rick that broke the bank so i dont think i can pay out another £1200 on an amp :P Atm, i have a little Orange...

Wow, this is really interesting reading this as my 08' Rick is actually having the same problem... BUT all my cables are crappy...AND my amp has taken a real beating. So...im not exactly 100% sure where the problem is myself. Isit like when you walk away from the amp it might cut off? i...
