I really need help

[luke111]

Hello everyone, I am new here in this forum. I am 19 years old and Im from Philippines, and my dilemma is killing me . I am choosing between a Epiphone Thunderbird goth or a Dean Razorback Bass or a ESP LTD AX-54. I play Metal genre so i know that these basses match my genre. So i want you guys to help me out upon choosing which one should i get ? And ive heard that epiphone T-bird have only 20 frets ? i really appreciate your help.

Epi Tbird. The others you'll grow out of, they are just too weird. The Tbird is a classic style that will never look, sorry, stupid.

Agreed. Thunderbird, definitely.

Thunderbird. But if you have the chance, get the Epiphone Nikki Sixx bass, not the goth one.

Agreed.

And the reality is, ANY bass will fit your genre. Opeth's bassist uses a Jazz bass. Plenty of guys use a P bass. Stingrays, boutiques, everything under the sun.

What I think is always funny about these threads, you don't see too many guys using the basses that you think are "metal"

I disagree about the Nikki Sixx bass. I'd go for the Goth, personally. The Sixx has no volume and tone knobs and therefore less tonal options.

But don't listen to me or anyone else. See which bass sounds best to you.
