I recently got an attenuator so I can push my tubes harder. Does a very good job & gave me an effect loop, plus a line out. I found the idea of putting a character pedal infront of a tube amp weird. But that might just be me.

Could you take a bit of a B string into a hardware store & try some out?

Someone tried to start an atheist bass club on here a couple of years ago. It got shutdown as it became a massive religious debate. So avoid getting into any arguments about religion on here. I'm an atheist if your woundering. In my band I know a guitarist is agnostic & the drummer is...

The new accept albums have been pretty solid aswell. I know there not a new band. But there come back has been pretty bad arse.

Are we doing this again are we?

My singer told me to get into white wizard last month & I'm enjoying them quite abit. Don't know how old they are or anything. But I think there worth checking out if you like classic metal.

When I was at school I always dreamed of owning a Warwick. First thing I did when I got my first job was nothing for a month of two. Next thing I knew I had enough saved for a Warwick. I put my need of a nice bass infront of my social life.

Metalhead here. Been cranking metal for a number of years now. Im in to abit of NWOBHM, Iron Maiden, Grim Reaper, etc. A bit of thrash, Iced Earth, Megadeth, old Metallica. Also a little bit of power, Gamma Ray Edguy. The Band Im in was refered to as NWONZHM in a review the other day. Some of...

I play in a loud metal band with two guitarists both using 100watt full stacks plus a heavy hitting drummer & I use a 100watt head. I also use an attenuator as I like to crank it. But get told off for being too loud.

I have the same problem all the time & I use a Marshall Superbass. I told the last soundman who tried to di me. That his di dosn't represent my tone at all & pointed at the drums told him there mic'ed, then the guitars told him there mic'ed, then the vocals told him there mic'ed. He had no...

I dont use them. I had the internal ones on a warwick I had once. They failed on me during a gig & I had to play most of the set kneeling while resting the bass on one knee. Sucked big time.

Im pretty sure my guitarists would quite happily use my Superbass given the chance.

I personally find clank is all in the fingers. Learn the live after death album from Iron Maiden & Practice through that most days. Youll be able to get clank out of any bass with any setup when you can play through that comfortably.

Set my high, mids, low to noon. Then adjust what my ears tell me too. UsuallY a slight bass cut & a mid boost.
