Oh my bad, seems like I forgot ignoring the laws of physics that actually means that different materials have different properties for sound. I apologize my good man.
Yeah, it really blows my mind how people believe that different techniques have different impact on their sound and choose technique accordingly. Oh, mankind..
Various Artists Brownswood Bubblers Four Compiled by Gilles Peterson A great album that I listen to anytime I just feel like filling my ears with something. A compilation of songs from different artists in some label, as I've understood it. Kafka Anthem is my favorite!
Is there such a thread already? In that case now there's two, with good reason. A completely brilliant composer that completely revolutionizes my appreciation for music as good as every time I play any Final Fantasy game. Having grown up with Final Fantasy 7 there's also a lot of sentimental...
For metal I'd say primarily Warwick and secondly Ibanez. For a not very modern sound I'm a sucker for a Hofner with flats(which I own, coincidence?), and for most other things I prefer a Fender. Jazz or precision. How about you guys?

Although there isn't actually any rational reason for me to prefer four strings I sometimes do. I play a lot of different music, and sometimes a 4string just feels more right than a 5string. I own two basses; one Ibanez SR5 and one Hofner Club, and I wouldn't be able to choose which one I like...
I use a Line6 Pod XT, which mostly works perfectly for my cup of distortion(I'm also a fan of mr. Dick's sound). But if you're sure about not getting a Line6 then i could recommend a MXR M80 Bass DI+. I used to own one, and although it wasn't as good as the line6 at getting a killer modern...
I'd say it depends on what kind of basses you find and how big your need for a G-string is. If you like having the extra string whether you use actually use it in a band or not I think you should try to find a good and affordable 5string. It might seem like the extra string will get in your way...
To me both styles has its' advantages. Personally I like to play with heavy yet defined distortion and I prefer the attack from playing with a pick. But with a non-distorted sound I kind of like the chug achieved from playing with fingers. I still play with a pick 99% of my metal time though.
As I am an utter failure when it comes to doing bothersome things, instead of uploading a picture of my bass to a site where I can link it here I'll just post a picture that's already available as a link and you'll get me as a pure bonus! It's a Ibanez SRsomething5 in a dark brown walnutisch...
Not that there's actually a lot of pictures of me and my bass, but at least any picture is more metal than no picture. Actually I even found two somewhat metallic pics. Obviously.
