Bass Recommendations please!!

I know how the Fender Deluxe and Jazz might sound. And most likely they are all competitive with each other. But the Spector Legend 4 Classic intrigues me, Demo's sound great and design, Style and features seem serious.

 

Man, a P Bass can hold up to Metal or Black Metal no "problemo". Buy some Roto Sound Swing Bass 66 strings, Eq your amp the right way..............you will do the job!!!!!!!!

And yes, there are a bunch of other basses that'll work too. Ever hear of a thing called "youtube"? Check out the videos of your favorite Black Metal Bands and buy a bass like what you see them use.

It ain't that hard!

 

Who are your favorite Metal bassists?
Look at what they play.

 

The Deluxe has Active/Passive switch can get good P sound and many others; if standard P type sound doesn't work for everything you need.

Some may say you don't get exact P sound with P/J Just ask them which P bass and which Sound, which type neck and pickups, body and fingerboard wood etc.

I have an Idea what they are referencing but it still is ambiguous/subjective for me. I know it when I hear it [for my head]

 

Hey man, welcome to Talkbass. Take a look at the G&L Tribute L-2000. It'll do metal all day long.

 

I love these threads....

 

As a black metal fan, I don't think a P is ideal (though at the same time I don't think it's a bad choice). Of the choices you gave I think the Spector is your best bet.

Have you considered some sort of Music Man?

 

LOL!!!!!!!! Ya know I was teasing, don't you?

Youtube and Google pretty much take care of about 98% of all of my needs. (I don't even bother to ask folks questions anymore. Google answers my questions.)

 

Yep, a Stingray or something similar would be perfect. Or as mentioned above, a G&L L2K

 

Plenty available on Reverb!

 

Have you checked out the Schecter Stiletto Stealth? It's got P and MM pickups. I don't have personal experience with it but I think you should give it a look if it's a viable option where you are.
