Bass selection.

Sorry, but I don't know what "ferclumptuous" mean :)
It doesn't, that's the point - "best bass for metal" is a very, very stale topic around here (only gets asked about 100 times a day, it seems). And there's lots and lots and lots of flavors of metal, which do not all have similar requirements in looks and sound.

Basically, we can't answer your question as asked, so people joke about it.
 
For what little it's worth, I like the looks of the Yamaha a lot better of those two. I don't know how they compare on sound and playability.
 
Hello!
I'd like to ask you what bass is better for metal. I am concerning the Yamaha TRBX 504 and Jackson CB-XV.
Dla czego nie Yamaha TRBX 505? Tylko ogladasz 504? Napisales ze ogladasz Jackson zpiecoma strun....ja bym wolał ten Yamaha 505 zwygladu. Te Jacksony wygladaja od lata osiemdziesatych....nie lubie.
Moj owielbiony zespoł metal, Mastadon, ten baśista teras uzywa Fender Jaguar, Warwick Streamer, Fender Precision, i Yamaha TRB
Nie zalezy jaka guitara, zalezy od ciebie.
