I enjoy the older type of stuff cos....Ha! I'm older Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thunder Fingers Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 (edited) I play metal, well, one of the bands i play in play metal Im not a strict metal bass player though, I'm also in a pop/rock band.. the metal band im currently playing with: [url="http://www.chaincollector.com"]http://www.chaincollector.com[/url] . New album is released, and im not playing on it, as I came in later, but the album is still pretty good! (Atleast to my ears!) A tip to you who complain about flopy downtuned strings, We play in C, I take the bottom 4 of a 5er set and tune them UP half a step! Quite comfy and it gives a thight and good tone too!
