    Bass rig setup for a new metal player...

    i have a decent budget but i don't want to overspend, because like i said, i know a few bands on the pro level that have bassists that are using rather affordable rigs. I'm looking for a really gritty metal tone is a good example (sorry if you're not a fan of the band but if you could give...
