I've got a Squier J-bass Affinity series, and I'm interested in thickening up the strings for metal. Looking online it says the Nut width is 1.5 inches, but I think that just means the actual bar itself is 1.5 inches across. I'm not sure if i have a tool small enough to measure the individual slots, so I was curious if there's a spec that says what gauges the string slots will tolerate.
both are pretty close- the ms-60b is slightly cheaper. But it's hard to see from demos if one or other does what I want from it best. I know the B1four has a darkglass emulator, but I'm not sure how good it actually sounds.
Does anyone have any experience with either they're willing to share?
Hello, me and my buddies are trying to form a bass-only death metal band. I want to make a sound kinda like Womb or Disembowlment, and I'm looking for a solid way to achieve the first step of distortion. I've heard the HM-2 (and by extension, HM-300) works fine for bass as it doesn't cut off too much low end, but I've heard also in comparison to the UM-300 its a little limited in how it can actually sculpt the sound.
Does anyone have any practical experience with either in this use case, or have words of advice/pedal recommendations?
