    So whats the deal with DR Black beauties?

    I pretty much did the same thing but I have the red strings. I play with my fingers and I notice that there are little specs where the coating is knocked off. really the only problem I have is I do chords, predominately on the bottom 2 strings, and that knocks the coating off fairly quick and it...

    EMG Pickups World.

    So if I'm wanting to play metal with finger, slap/pop, and tap techniques, and like a little growl in my bass what would be the best combination? I was thinking about going with a 35p in the neck and maybe a 35dc. Would that help get me the sound I need

    Any experience with Krank?

    Ok now I'm hearing what I wanted to hear. I wasn't trying to make excuses or had my mind set on this cab. I was wanting a good opinion with some good solid ground to back it up. I didn't want to hear "the cab is bad cuz the video is bad" or "I just don't like having 2 seperate sized speakers."...

    Any experience with Krank?

    I know cuz I'm a Bad Ass :D. again one has to consider all the parts in that video to what made the sound. could of been the head, the bass, or camera. I'm not saying that the cab wasn't part of the problem. What I am saying though, or more of asking, is has any one had the chance to try this...

    Any experience with Krank?

    hell man I'm plannin on sellin it lol. I like the whole 8x10 set up & I understand why so many would choose it, but I played out of some guy's peavey 2x10 1x15 stack at a show since I couldn't get my stack and holy shat that thing had some KICK! more kick than I've ever got out of my stack. ever...

    Any experience with Krank?

    I'm talkin about the cabinet not the head. I can't base if I like it on just this video for: The head could be reason as to why there might not be the best tone, could of been the bass itself cuz I'm not a fan of gibson, or it could of been the camera itself cuz it didn't seem like the quality...

    Any experience with Krank?

    has anyone on here had any experience with Krank cabs? Mainly the Basszilla 2x12-4x10 stack. Says it comes loaded with "four premium Eminence BP 102 10” and two 12 LFA 12” speakers giving the cab a 4 ohm load capable of handling over 1600W" Invalid Link Removed

    SWR Megoliath Vs Hartke HX810

    not at all. Ampeg IMO is overpriced and one can get as good tone if not better from other cabs, like mark bass,(at the music shops around here they have both cabs so I can try those out :D) & I'm not tryin to base my decision on the just the frequency response, but it is a decision factor since...

    SWR Megoliath Vs Hartke HX810

    only problem is I live in the Houston area and no one around here sells Hartke and one of the few places that I know of that carry swr only has a working ma 4x10 and a golight 4x10 so I'm kinda screwed on the trying it out first thing or I would of by now lol.

    SWR Megoliath Vs Hartke HX810

    Right now I have a Carvin RL810T that I'm pushing with a Nemesis NA-650, and it sounds good but I'm lookin for an upgrade. I play metal in the c# standard range, and I don't really get the good thump or growl I've heard when playing out of other cabinets and I found it only goes down to 60Hz. I...

    Best strings for slap/pop metal

    yea even for being only a .110 gauge i remember them sounding pretty good on my last jackson. it might help they were designed specifically with slap and tap techniques in mind. It seems to me that the DDT's are the exact same construction as the lo-riders but they just have thicker gauge's to...

    Best strings for slap/pop metal

    I play in standard c# tuning and right now I have a set of dr .105 red devils. they sound good when I'm just shreddin but the second I try to incorporate a slap or even a pop it sounds kinda dead. I used to have some .110 lo-riders on my last bass and they sounded amazing in c# tuning when i...
