Distorted bass and pickups?

[Ensanguine]

Though if your looking at the Stiletto, I would reccomend to look at the Schecter Riot 6. The body shape is beautiful, you can get it with a beautiful wenge top on a swamp ash body, and it has to be one of the most comfortable things I have ever played.

What's the deal with the Riot 6 not being available barely anywhere?? I agree, it looks great but I don't like to idea of having to buy it online from some unknown vendor.

so what's the verdict on distortion pedals?

I want to get one end all be all. Meshuggah/In Flames, style.

so what does everyone recommend. If you didn't have to think about price or value.

EBS? MXR M-8? ibanez PD7? Tech 21 sansamp?

I'm on active pickups. A custom bass with two emgs and a fender american delux jazz bass.

And I'm planning on buying an SVT this year, you can also hear my band, and recommend based on the style. http://www.myspace.com/draconic

I can do Meshuggah quite nicely on my AGRO.

Here's a pretty good video of Dick's sound from Meshuggah. He primarily uses Line6 effects processors....and of course Warwick basses.

Bone Ritual has some good distorted bass.

I actually like that bass sound a lot, the rest I can pass on. Any idea what gear/settings he uses?

I still think Evil Empire had the best distortion tone. I've tried a bunch of stuff myself. Never with happy results. I guess it would be different if we could run two or three channels of bass live, but I can't and every pedal I've tried sucks low end bad

I've got a side band called Neanderthawl where I play my distorted bass along to some drum loops. To hear the song, you can copy and paste the following URL http://dl.dropbox.com/u/24580224/neanderthawl.mp3

Really? You know Neanderthal is a pretty big band in the powerviolence world, seeing as how it's one of Eric's (Man of the Bastard) many side projects. They've been around for many years.

Line 6 POD or SansAmp PSA.

That's what meshuggah and napalm death use.

Converge has a sexy-as-hell distorted bass sound. Usually, I'm not too fond of distorted bass, but damn, this just sounds so good.

he uses a Thunderverb 200 smart move actually.

we also distort bass tracks always. for example:

Ibanez SR505 - Bartolini + V-amp pro bass (bass solo 1:19)

Yamaha TRB 1005 - stock + Line6 POD Pro bass (begining)
