    Please vote - Which bass to get finalists

    Thanks for the replies. Got tired of racking my brain over this so I just went with the cheapest option. Got a Sterling Sub Stingray with Rosewood and a Sansamp Bass Driver for just over $500.

    Please vote - Which bass to get finalists

    After some research and conversations I have narrowed it down to 4 and I cant decide. The Schecter is $100 off and 0% for 24 months which is very appealing to me. The Ibanez looks killer and the Warwick just seems great, the clips sounded fantastic. Please vote and post any opinions. Very...

    4 or 5 string for lower tunings (last completely noob thread I promise)

    I am a guitarist getting a Bass for my home recordings so I do not know much about bass. I mostly tune to D and Drop C depending on the song. Would a 35" 4 string pull this off? Or is it mandatory that I get a 5 string? I will be honest and say I am no Flea, I will be using the lowest 2...

    Can someone explain string spacing adjustment options?

    I am looking for a bass and came across the Ibanez SR675. Noticing this spacing option at the bridge really confuses me, how does that even work? The nut is set where it is set, my brain is forcefully thinking that adjusting the string spacing at the bridge would make things really weird...

    Which bass to buy for recording?

    Thanks, I will make another thread. Wasn't sure if it would be better to keep it minimized into 1 without a noob clogging up the forum but you are right. Thanks

    Which bass to buy for recording?

    Yeah some of the guitars I was looking at was the SR series. I was going to make a new thread about this but I am looking at the 405, 505 or 675. I am going to use my Musicians Friend card and I would love to save the money and get the 405 but would the 505 or 675 be a night and day difference...

    EarCandy Cabs - Beware: Crazy Ahead

    Nope. He is still at it. I just fell victim to Earcandy 11/2016 Do not waste your time dealing with them. The biggest headache I've ever had to deal with buying gear and I've bought a lot of gear. He was nice but delays, lies and excuses. Had to file a claim against him. Buyer beware

    Tuning the 5 string (metal guys please help)

    So my bassist just got a 5 string fretless, sounds killer. But the thing is he still plays it like a 4 string. We tune to Drop C on guitar. CGCFAD I would think that youd tune the Bass the same. CGCFA However he said that there is some werid tension issue and that your not supposed...

    Seeking opinions on specific amps for metal (sub-genres included) :)

    That's what he is leaning toward. We hooked it up to a crap 4x10 guitar cab and it sounded better than with his 2 15's. We couldn't run both because of the blown speaker. I made him tweak his 35 knobs on his bass guitar to back off a little of the power and it sounded much cleaner. Thanks...

    Seeking opinions on specific amps for metal (sub-genres included) :)

    Well right now he is using an Apeg 112 combo lol...Actually is loud enough to hear at practice (barely), sounds horrible live. We tried it :bassist: But he really loves the tone from that ampeg.
