cris the man Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 Hi , im chris and ive been playing bass for 3 or 4 years now. I started off playing metal music and i really enjoyed it because i love playing complex bass lines ( who doesn't? ). My bass teacher recommended me for grade 8 bass which ill be taking in november/december time. He told me about solo bassists such as Jeff Schmidt, Victor Wooten and Jaco Pastorius. I was amazed at their talent and im trying to mimic their styles but getting nowhere. ill get there eventually. Right now im playing a Dean Edge Q6 bass. Its really powerful and the preamp is incredible. The EMG-HZs really do make the bass sound huge. I blew my ashown 180 combo. The cone just disintergrated, im sure of it. I took a chainsaw to it and stole the head from it and use that now with my hartke 410 tp. The cones on that are alluminium so they wont break (hopefully). I want another 410tp to make a fullstack.

I like pantera , metallica ( but only in the early albums , now they're too mainstream ) , disturbed , cannibal corpse , necrophagists , iron maiden , led zepplin , motorhead , rage against the machine and dream theatre. Those ones are probably my favourites , they all have good technical riffs on bass. complexity is good =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
