You forgot to add the voting option for "Notes that can disembowel the blackest of souls once everyone agrees that the notes do indeed disembowel and ridicule those that aren't disemboweled enough".

As an actual metal bassist, I find this thread rather depressing.

[Mr.E]

The shiney note

 

[SactoBass]

Just make sure all notes (and chords) are a half-step from each other and BINGO!......you've got metal!

 

[Ric5]

All Metal is in D

 

[Classickbass]

Open notes

That way you can bang whilst playing. One's image must be core.

 

[SactoBass]

All Metal is in D

Aren't they allowed to go a half step above D and then back to D and then a half step below D and then back to D again?

Or is that "prog" metal?

Oh, I thought that was jazz
Everyone knows the best notes for metal are heavy ones!

 

[SactoBass]

Oh, I thought that was jazz

LOL! That was good!

You only need to play two notes, the low F & E. They cover 90% of Metalica bass lines.

 

[Wayfarer]

Screw everything. I say tune up two whole steps.

Also, strum every string at the same time with a pick. It really creates a great sound. Not.

Chipmunk Metal. I like it.

Edit: Oops I forgot, Black Walnut Tree Dwelling Fanged Wood Demon Metal. Got to get the sub-genre right.
