    Ibanez SR600 vs Warwick RB Corvette Basic?

    I'm looking for a mid ranged bass to play jazz/rock. I have compared the two and looked at reviews, they both seem evenly praised and they each have their own strong points. What do you reccomend?

    Best pickups for metal

    No....im not. Just because certain people in metal bands use them doesnt mean the stock pickups are universally perfect for every metal tone :eyebrow:

    Why arent drummers considered musicians?

    Micro Bass Heads, why doesn't everyone use them?

    I normally only use combos, but I have used an Ashdown little giant 1000 and mibass 550 and I love them, they can pack a lot of punch and they are small and light, so don't more bassist use them? And why don't more companies buy into the idea? What are your oughts tb?:p

    Amps are too bulky

    Yup a good micro head is what you need. I've always been a fan of the ashdown superflu, mibass or little giant heads, GK make some good ones too :)

    Need a Pedal...have no idea what kind

    EQ. If like me, you don't feel the need for effects, buy a MXR M109 equaliser pedal for just boosting the colour of your tone, it sharpens and enhances your kids well, especially for the diddy home practice amps that don't have a very good EQ
