    Not another "best bass" thread: What do YOU use for metal?

    I use Spector Basses. On this track with my band Crimson Thirst I am using my poplar top Euro4LXEX. with the tone pump preamp it has a bit of a hotter output than my Buckeye burl USA spector NS-2. Let me drive my ampegs imput a little hotter for some added grit.

    Isnt it funny how everyone seems to have a Squire or mim that plays better than any mia theyve ever

    speaker cab sensitivity
