You forgot "tonewood."
Oh, and "Mothman."
I believe that there is a compartment on the back of the Mothman where you have to insert a 5 watt Crate.

You forgot "tonewood."

This is a scientific fact I used to quote when I worked in a shop. . . . . . . . Light is a combination of energy and heat.

I just threw up in my mouth a little.I was just jamming out to some Dragon Force and my new B.C. rich black widow and my crate 5 watt mega amp that it came with. It has such a wholesome tone and warm punk and awesome crunch. The black makes it look epic.
if anyone wants advice on a bass rig just post your questions *goes back to rockin' out*
I just bought an electric bass guitar, and lemme tell you, it rocks my world! I haven't even plug it in, but man, even unplugged, it has best sound in the world!!34!!
I know, no pics, no bass, so here ya go, me playing it!
Ready? Go!
I am in a metal band. Last practice, they were all telling me that something was wrong, the bass just didn't sound right. No matter how many knobs I tweaked, though, no one was happy with my bass sound.
Now I realize I made two HUGE mistakes.
1. Had a powerful amp. My tone lacked any wholesomeness whatsoever.
2. Was using a sunburst bass, instead of black.

So, what you're saying is...I should sell my Alembic, Fenders, Kramers and Squiers and buy a BC rich, sell my Hartke and Acoustic rigs and buy a 5 watt Crate amp if I really wanna be awesome and wholesome at bass?

If you wanna be the best, you gotta play the best. And all your stuff sucks.![]()
