Title: P bass - For the metulz
Post by: Madsakre on March 29, 2011, 08:54:35 PM: Yes. my bassist wants to swap his dimarzio's in his fender P bass with a set of knuckles since me and the other guitarist are dedicated bkp users.

The style is.. NOISY :)

Which would do the job best? Its fitted with a maple board.

There's a lot of attack in that too. Output low, play with a (heavy) pick, pick hard.

Its a power trio and we're aiming for a 50/50 sound in presence of both guitar and bass.

I quite like that, noisy, but in a good way :D

Any UK gigs up round Newcastle planned?
