Rodulator Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Hello peeps, Starting playing about 14 years ago first on bass then guitar and now I am back to bass and loving it. Currently playing a crappy esp ltd 5 string bass with a high string rather than low all tuned down 1 step ©D, G , D , F , A# and using a markbass sa450, cab is currently pending. I only really play using a pick, don't hate me, but it gives the tone I want when playing. Really into playing chords with a bit of fuzz on it which is great for driving the group when the guitarists are off playing harmonies. Check it out. [url="https://soundcloud.com/mantora"]https://soundcloud.com/mantora[/url] Any recommendation anyone has for good 5 strings that are good for high string would deinftely be appreciated as I am looking to upgrade as soon as possible.

Rodulator Posted January 17, 2013 Author Share Posted January 17, 2013 not sure yet. I am using my friends ashdown for the time being and it holds up well. The rehersal space has ampeg 8x10 which is nice. Honestly though I would love a mark bass cab as my name is mark and for no other reason.

Kiwi Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Welcome - do a search on here for opinions on Mark bass cabs, you'll find a variety. Sounds like you might need a 5 string made with a lot of maple or a stiff neck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
