What's the best notes to use for metal?

[madmatt]

I want to start a poll so us metalhedz will know how to play it right.

 

[Sketchy]

If it can be distorted, you're doing it right.

 

[snyderz]

Bored, eh?

 

[Drifta]

drop-tuned notes

 

[Jeroen91]

Depends on the type of metal

 

[mindbass]

Lot's of E's and D's. Blue and brown notes don't fit, black ones are good though.

 

[Hopkins]

Metal should be played in drop Q

 

[kcole4001]

None of the above.
The notes you play don't matter, you can't hear the bass in metal anyway, right?

 

[nato101010]

i prefer the "drop dead" tuning for metal

 

[Tumeni Notes]

Low E, then low E, followed by several more low E's.

 

[Codymb]

Tritones.

/thread.

 

[Melik]

B, A, C, H

 

[Stilettoprefer]

Pointy ones

 

[crapusername]

Black ones

 

[SactoBass]

As long as you are spinning your hair around in circles in sync with the other band members, any notes work.

Observe:



I was thinking that maybe James Taylor should do this next time he is in concert. It would really add a new dimension to his performances.

 

[Mete]

M flat, you can mix it with some H major it will be heavy ! \m/

 

[Jazz Ad]

All 12 of them. At the same time.

 

[kcandme]

If it can be distorted, you're doing it right.

Correction...
If it Can't Be Distorted Any More, you are doing it correctly...

 

[pedroims]

dead notes of course...

 

[Beginner Bass]

There are 2 ways to go:

1. The ones that are in D minor
2. The tritone (It's that BROOTALZ)
