Best bass for industrial rock

[bassmachine2112]

Good question,here,s my tuppence
Thunderbird-epiphone t-bird pro-it,s active so you can grind it out-black of course
musicman sub-active
both of these are good cause you can have a sneaky slap n pop on them-both are great slappers
P-bass with a hot pick up
Or for a change-Rickenbacker
big watts and a good di pre amp-sansamp or similar or try out a behringer bdi 21 for cheapness to see if you like it.

If it's strictly between a P and J, I'd say go for a jazz and stick some Dimarzio Ultra Jazz in! They're SOOO punchy and powerful, but defined and articulate too. Loads of guts, but they really cut through the mix too.

If you're open to other options, I would go for anything you like the feel of that's loaded with MM humbucker(s).

Try a Sandberg if you get chance........

Yup, digging up a old thread but....

When touring I use a peavey millenum 5 and a jazz copy, although I run effects quite hard I find they do the job best

My, this thread is old. No matter. I used a hohner jack when I played in an industrial rock band ( we never would have used that term to describe ourselves though.) so....a jazz then?!?

Bass player from cop shoot cop, used to use a mustang with competition stripes. Can't remember offhand, what ministry /Rammstein bassists use.
Imho, you can't go wrong with a headless, or something nice and pointy;)

Paul Barker of Ministry 90's era I think:

Bassplayer on last year's comeback tour was playing a fenderbird through a marshall head iirc.

I believe that JMJ uses jazz basses with NIN.
