I'm not exactly new, but I have been inactive for ages and wasn't particularly active before so... I'm from Reading, England and have been playing 13 years if I remember correctly. I only have two basses; a Redwood 6-string and an Ibanez BTB686SC. Information on the Redwood is very difficult to find so if anyone has any I am all ears. The Ibanez (attached pic) has been mine for 2 weeks and set me back £700. It is definitely worth it. Sounds fantastic and is not at all heavy for such a serious piece of wood. So yeah. Hi.

A not too great picture of the new (left) and first (right). I'm not one for having loads and this new Ibanez is just awesome

Sounds good, though the vocals on the Pre-release release(?) sound a bit muddy in the mix? Cerberus Cell is more riffy than me, and probably a bit more accessible

I have searched for a Metal players thread but can't find one, though I may just be being dense. Metal bass is often overlooked I feel, Extreme Metal even more so, though there are some ridiculous players out there under all the guitars. Thought I'd make a place where the Metal bassists can post their stuff, unless one already exists on here in which case point me to it. I myself have an Extreme Metal project: [url="https://www.facebook.com/ThisThingOfDarkness/app_178091127385"]This Thing Of Darkness[/url], the vocals may put some people off, but I have tried to put some interesting bass lines on the tracks. Any other Metallers out there?

Hey, I have primarily been a drummer for the last 10 years, but have had basses and guitars around the whole time as well. I have recently started taking the bass more seriously and have made a few recordings ([url="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Hello-Stratosphere/268139616588674?id=268139616588674&sk=app_178091127385"]https://www.facebook.com/pages/Hello-Stratosphere/268139616588674?id=268139616588674&sk=app_178091127385[/url]). I am joining this forum partly for feedback for my music/playing, and partly to discover others music and style. I am based in Berkshire, UK. I play a 6-String Redwood Bass. I can't find any info on Redwood whatsoever, they only seem to exist on the Dawsons Music website? If anyone knows anything then I would be interested in finding out more about them

Hey, I am new to this forum so I am unsure if I am posting in the right place (I think I am). I have a little music project that is me playing bass over/under programmed beats and synths. I am after some feedback for it, so I would be very grateful if anyone could give the tunes a listen and let me know what you think. The songs are steering more towards a simple/chillout vibe, though I stray from that sometimes. You can hear four tracks here: [url="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Hello-Stratosphere/268139616588674?id=268139616588674&sk=app_178091127385"]https://www.facebook.com/pages/Hello-Stratosphere/268139616588674?id=268139616588674&sk=app_178091127385[/url] My favourite of the four is White Rhino, It's the most fun to play. Apologies if I am not supposed to link that way, and thanks if anyone listens!
