Thanks a lot guys! I agreed to make the swap. I am sure it will be a good bass.

Hello there everyone, I wanted your input on something. I have a BC Rich Warlock Bass (5 string NT) that I used to play. At the moment, it doesn't seem to get much action at all, as I have just been playing in rehearsals and more of playing as hobby than anything else. For that purpose, I...

It is a very sad day indeed. I was actually a fan of Lokomotiv in the KHL, and I am a big fan of Korolev, Karpovtsev (who won the Stanley Cup with the Rangers back in 94), Salei and Demitra. It is a double shock to me. As a simultaneously Canucks and a Sabres fan, I can say I love hockey and...

Hey there, If you want nothing fancy, but good build quality and German effectiveness, then I can suggest Warwick amps. This is if you want to buy a new amp. You can buy the Warwick BC 40 for 160 Euros new (100 / 110 euros used), and it's got a 1x10 speaker and 40 Watts. I would suggest...

A naked and chunky maple neck - that's what I love. With a P split coil pickup, that's a tone that has withstood the test of time. At the same time, I really have to go try out the bass somewhere. The only other bass that I am considering to buy is a MM Stingray 5 (HH). The thing is I never...

Also, you should check out Sandberg basses - they are amazing instruments. Their older bass guitars have Delano pickups. These basses can really cut through, as well as offer old school tones of a P Bass for example. The California P Bass from Sandberg is a monster, available in 4 string and...

Rayzak, thanks a lot for the input. It's good to know that it has the classic Precision vibe to it. I like the P sound, as I think it holds its place nicely in any musical situation. I will need to try to find one in a store to try it out. Yeah, will surely keep an eye out for the...

Hey guys, Lately I have been craving for something new in my arsenal, and Christmas is coming up soon enough, so GAS has been quite strong. What caught my eye was the Fender Precision Vintage 57 bass. Invalid Link Removed I dig the way it looks, and I have heard one youtube clip of the bass...

I got one thing to say - Steve Harris! Iron Maiden's bassist, Steve Harris, is one of the greatest metal bass players and he used Flatwounds on his Fender Precision (alongside his style, he created that "machine gun" like bass sound).

I used to play some Melodic Death Metal a while ago, and I used a Jackson Concert Bass with active EMGs in it (tuned down 1 step for playing Children of Bodom covers, tuned down two steps to play Arch Enemy covers). The EMGs worked well for the Death Metal setting - as they gave me a...

Hey guys, Just wanted to ask you metalheads out there - have you heard the new Accept album - Blood of the Nations? If yes, what did you think of Peter Baltes' tone? I just got the album, and started blasting it at home - and holy **** I was blown away... First of all the album has...

I am a big Sandberg fan. In my opinion, Sandberg instruments are of a higher quality than Fender standard American counter-parts. Yes, a Fender P-bass is an industry standard, but Sandberg basses offer so much more tonal possibilites and the craftsmanship is of a very high level. If you are...

In terms of value for money, Hartke is hard to beat. If the gear is in good condition, I would get the Hartke rig. It's cheaper than the Ashdown / Carvin rig and will give you a nice booming tone for starters - and although I have a lot of respect for Carvin products, I do not really like...

My first gig was with a high school band of mine that was called White Dragon (when i just turned 18). I was on rhythm guitar back then and we did covers of Dio, Iced Earth, Blind Guardian and Iron Maiden. We were very big into fantasy metal, so hence the name for the band. I still love that...

I try to display as much enthusiasm as possible. My brother (who is the lead guitarist) says that I have a stage persona somewhat similar to Jason Newsted. I am very energetic when it comes to singing backing vocals and I like to move around a lot (whether simple headbanging, or moving around...
