I don't think this is Off-Topic enough for Off-Topic.

I didn't expect to see all this sarcasm. I thought for sure this thread would be full of the "it's all the hands, gear means nothing" snobbery.

Yes, obviously, technique is important. The right gear helps, too.

If it had been posted in the right section, it might have gotten meaningful, insightful, snobby, on-topic comments.

However, this is OT. Sarcasm runs rampant - especially on Fridays.

What's the best metal for sarcasm? I'm gonna say aluminum.

 

[Gopherbassist]

So, you're saying that technique matters? I'm not buying it.

Seriously though. This hand voodoo stuff sounds like a bunch of baloney to me.

What's the best toothbrush for metal?

Sorry, I don't live in Tennessee. I need a TEETHbrush.

You don't like in Tennessee?

There are a whole bunch of musicians from Nashville on this forum who would disagree.

Tune to D standard.
Learn to pick squeal.
Bend every note that's longer than an eighth note (and 8ths themselves some times).

Bingo, you now have the Dimebag playing style.

What is the best dimebag for metal? The kind you can snort.

It referes on a guitar player but suits on bass players too.

tone is a debatable thing. Some people think equipment is the origin of his tone...when it's actually his picking attack/angle, natural/artificial harmonics, finger strength, finger coordination, timing, internal rhythm, personal preference of scales/chords/rhythm patterns/chops/licks/riffs/ and style. I have a Mesa 100W head and Ibanez Prestige...I can get it to sound like Dime's guitars & amps, but to get his tone, I have to mimic every subtle nuance of his playing style.

That's bull. I said so, therefore it is.

 

[Ziltoid]

I love tautology.

This thread is a load of crap. Tone is all in the equipment. Fingers mean nothing. If that was the case, why would picks exist?

Jaco only needed four strings. Therefore, four strings are the best bast for metal. End of discussion.

You found something "wise" on the internet? I'd ask for your money back.

All that post I thought was common knowledge. I could have told you that and saved you the google-time.

This is pretty much all we wanted to say, but we took the scenic route that includes sarcasm, tired TB jokes, and overall sophomoric dooooooosherie.

It's OT. That's the way it's done.
