    I'm being considered as a session player for a death metal band. Advice?!

    Obnoxious bass tapping is always a plus :D I play in a death metal band as well given not the best stuff for a bassist but it sure is fun i have to admit. Whatever you do DONT scoop the mids! thats pretty much my only advice

    Alternate 5 string tuning?

    I'm debating getting a 5 string however I'm running into the problem of whether i should leave it in standard or put it in a different tuning. My band plays in drop c and I'm just wondering what options i could do with tuning. Any help would be much appreciated

    Musicman Stingray or G&L L2000

    He should go with what he likes, he's going to be the one playing it. They're both excellent instruments can't really make a bad choice on this one.

    nickel 50-110

    I have been looking for a nickel roundwound in a thicker gauge preferably 50-110 and it seems like companies make them but no one sells them. I have spent a solid half hour looking on just strings and have even googled it and nothing has come up. Are thick nickel strings too much to ask for?

    avoiding fretwear?

    I have rotosound 66's on my warwick thumb and I love the tone but am noticing obvious signs of fretwear that stainless steel strings are notorious for. I want to retain the aggressiveness of my tone but I just cant keep these strings on. Any help would be much appreciated!
