Guy!!

I havent been playing bass very long, probably about a year now. I was thinking maybe a q tron plus or a digitech synth wah but ill look at anything, what do you guys think? I play a bit of everything, mainly funk metal/rock, and im using a 5 string peavey millenium bxp ac at the moment.

Ive been playing bass a few months now, and im thinking about investing in a good 5 string bass, maybe a fender j-bass or a musicman stingray. What do people recommend? I'm playing mostly rock and metal, but i need a bass suitable for slapping and popping too, suggestions?

Slightly off topic here, but were you able to find a gig bag for this bass? Im having trouble finding one that the head will fit in, hes quite wide at the top.. and the epiphone bag is apparently rubbish =S

Pros : Despite the bad reviews, it IS possible to slap on this bass
Great roaring sound
A little muddy, but not too much
Versatile, been playing a little bit of everything so far (metal, funk, blues, rock, random sh1t that my wannabe metal friend made up)
Great colour and look, like a gibson SG style
Stays in tune well
Short scale makes it easier to glide up and down the neck

Cons :
Neck dive, but its not too much of a problem
Its actually impossible to buy a bag for this bass. It has big tuning pegs, so the heads are not wide enough- and the official bag is difficult to get to ship to england, and supposedly falls apart anyway; im going to buy a crappy bag and cut the top off, he can wear a hat or something =]
It can be difficult to adjust from a short scale to a full scale, i borrowed my friends broken fender precision bass copy when i first got my eb-0

Overall, its a great bass, and for £99, you cant really go wrong =]

Usually slapping one fret and popping the octave is a good place to start =]
