Which bass is best for..

[FunkMetalBass]

Thanks, but not quite my cup of tea, i think. Too "modern-sounding", i guess.

I'd like something "older" and with a grown-man's beard, like Chuck Norris .

If it helps, I love the bass sound in the first Tomahawk album, for instance.

Isn't that P-bass?

Euro 5LX has soapbars. It sounds VERY modern.

Now the Euro 4, on the other hand, is a PJ


EDIT: Thought you were referring to the Euro



Here's what my 55-01 looked like

Honestly, don't know.. The guy uses a long-horn type of bass live, never knew if it was the original Danelectro one or a custom made, because it was very big!

Anyway, I'll try to find out.

That's waht I've though too, but any model in particular?

I recall hearing a mustang and liking the sound a lot, so maybe those '51 style ones, no?
I must say I love the 51's aesthetics! So F***'ing rude!

Check out the one that Chef had made for him, too. SCPB pickup (inline split, I think, for hum cancelling) plus a Nordy Big Single bridge in a slab '51 body with butterscotch blonde finish and a black (single ply, I think) guard. Can't find it in the forums right now, but you can search for it. Nice bass.

Here's another Regenerate '51 P 5er with sound clips and pics. Nordy SCPB neck PU, Nordy Fat Stack bridge, Nordy pre w/ always-on passive tone.

Benavente does [Invalid or Expired Link Removed], too.

I think a 5-string Tele/'51 P bass with a bridge pickup would be perfect for what you're talking about. IMHO.
