    Under-rated/Over-rated bass players....

    This is a tough one... Martin Mendez (Opeth) is an amazing bassist who I think is extremely underrated. His playing is musically very interesting imo. As for overrated bassists, I'd have to go with Lemmy or Cliff Burton. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE Cliff but I just think that people tend to...

    Ideal string gauge for D standard tuning?

    The songs are quite fast and challenging, and I also need the low A. So I have to tune down. :) 50-140 should be perfect. Thanks. :D BEADG actually. :)

    Ideal string gauge for D standard tuning?

    My band plays in D standard tuning so I have to tune down to D standard myself (obviously). But the strings feel a bit "floppy" with the 45-130 (5 string bass) strings I have on my bass.. What string size would you recommend for D standard tuning? Thanks :D
