Archr5 posted:to anyone keeping score, this thread has aided in the purchase of another bass. Are the models in the bass pack any good, I found the ones that came with it as standard lackluster and got a better sound out of one of the guitar amp models.

Archr5 posted:well the guitar port doesn't actually come with ANY bass models... Ah I have the toneport kb37 which came with a couple of bass amps and cabs, but they all have a lack in high/high mid end from what I've found. Thanks for the info, looks like thats something else on my "to buy" list

I need a cheapish 5 string bass for recording with as I just got a 7 string guitar and I'd rather leave my 4 string in standard. Is there anything half decent I can get for around £200-£250. Going for a kind of meshuggah type sound if possible, bright.

oval office Puncher posted:I didn't read too many other replies so this probably has been said already, but there's a ton of overlap between the skills required to play bass and guitar (left hands are virtually identical, co-ordination between picking/plucking and fretting etc.) so you can easily learn both at once. Playing the bass is a completely different playing style entirely to guitar.

I need a new bass as I sold my only bass a couple of months back. I want a 6 string as I usually play 7 string guitars so I'll need the lower string for recording, and the higher one would actually get a decent amount of use in other situations. It needs to be quite versatile as it will be playing everything from same octave djent and normal metal to blues and jazz. I also want to keep it under £450 if possible. So far I've been looking at the LTD B206SM and D6 NS aswell as the Ibanez SR506BM and BTB676. I'm currently leaning towards the B206SM. Any thoughts?

Again I'd like to point out that ZP is gay and you can ignore him. Also I'm going to be looking for a bass amp soon, I need it to keep up with a drummer while keeping it small and for the least amount of money possible. Ideas?

82Daion posted:It depends on how hard your drummer hits, but any Peavey 115 combo (TNT, TKO, Combo, etc.) should do the trick for cheap and loud. They're a little on the big side, but that's the sacrifice you must make for bass. I dont really have a set budget, I just don't want to pay more than I have to. The 115 looks pretty bang on for price and size though. I'm not really worried about the tone at this point as its just for practices, any recording will be done through a modeller and for any gigs I'll be borrowing rigs/PAing it.

How else am I meant to get that bright scooped sound without a pick?!
