I looked up the Marshall Superbass on YouTube and nearly all the videos are demos with a guitar, just one dude with a Gibson Ripper

I would imagine it would work well with the 4x15 Marshall cab. I guess the lower power isn't a problem if you want a dirty sound, it just won't do clean at a high volume.

Thyme - Pink Floyd

New World Order - Ministry

Stone the crow - Down

Obviously I didn't mean Alestorm and Gloryhammer. I meant the other, good, clean living, nice pirate metal bands.

Marshall originally intended it as a bass amp but it was more commonly used as a guitar amp because it was closer to being a guitar amp. It was under powered as a bass amp and didn't sound like a bass amp.

Well then there's clearly something wrong with you.

Who doesn't?

That's probably for the best. I love Misfits but Jerry's bass (not his playing) sounds bloody awful. I'd say Lemmy has to be one of the most distinctive, Rickenbacker through marshall guitar amps played as a rhythm guitar is never going to sound like everyone else. Flea is quite distinctive. I'm no Chilli Peppers fan but instantly recognised his bass sound on Alanis Morissette's songs. He just has a really distinctive style.

What's the exciting way to practice scales?

Holy crap, why didn't I think of that? I freaking love that song. I'll be on that in the morning.

Mother - Danzig

Nazi punks f**k off - Dead Kennedys

Have you not discovered Nintendocore yet? Or Dinosaur metal?

Brain Stew - Green Day

☝️☝️ What he said. Stranglers have some fantastic bass lines, all great to play with a pick. If you're not in to punk, forget their punk association, they're nothing like the Pistols. They're just a brilliant rock band.

Scales may be incredibly dull but 10 minutes practicing them at the start of a session will help strengthen your joints and get you moving. If you really want to increase the boredom, try arpeggios as well.

That's true, I forgot about that. Fast for the picking hand but the fret hand doesn't do a lot.

Due to a case of golfers elbow (I've never played golf) I'm finding it quite painful to play anything fast which gets the fretting hand busy. While I can play through the pain, it's not good for recovery. Any recommendations for metal songs which don't get the fret hand moving too fast but are still interesting? I've been trying some Down this morning but the fast fills make my forearm feel like it's about to burst open.
