NancyJohnson Posted July 23, 2023 Posted July 23, 2023 It's 2023, haven't we really gone beyond the, 'What's good for <insert genre here>?' Anything goes for any genre. It should be pretty easy in this day and age to dial in any tone, irrespective of the shape of the instrument delivering it. 1 Quote

But no-one so far has been able to recreate "Heft". Which is impossible to digitally recreate and is almost solely owned and employed by Trace Elliott. 😆 Quote

MichaelDean Posted July 23, 2023 Posted July 23, 2023 @SteveXFR if you count my Dingwall as a "metal" bass, I'm planning on taking it to the South West Bass Bash later this year, or if you find yourself in South Bristol and fancy a play, drop me a message. I might also be getting a multiscale Spector this week too 😅 Quote

Do they actually fo a better job of producing a good and clanky tone? I ask because I'm a bit curious about the Ibanez Iron label basses as a replacement for my P bass Expand I've just had a look at the Ibanez Iron Label basses - from what I can see, the only thing separating them from the standard BTB/SDGR is the matt finish. They'll both excel at a clanky tone if that's what you're after but not because of anything unique to those basses. Take any extreme-looking bass and turn the tone down and it'll play Motown. 1 1 Quote
