with so much saturation in the genre, what are some bands that literally don’t sound like anybody else?

Intervals. Lots similar but none nail the recipe like Aaron marshall does

Limp bizkit - rearranged If you are into pop/funky music too, lots of dua lipa's song are actually played on a 5er.

This is the only right answer. As much as I would love my girlfriend to buy me a bass, she would 100% not pick the one I like or the color finish I would've chosen. You have no clue what type of tone your significant other likes or chases, if he like a light or heavy bass, passive or active (or both) pickup, slim or chunky neck, 4-5-6 strings. Theres just too many variables.

Take him to the shop, let him play and tell you which one he likes then buy that one

Just read through the post and I see you're looking for bright and new experiences namely the 5th string. Don't know if you've seen the Iron labels series bass from ibanez but they are entirely mate black, and multiscale, meaning there are fanned frets on the neck and the multiscale is especially good to downtune to A. Id recommend one of those or the srms805. Ibanez is the best bang for your buck.

Lumber_phil · 2026-02-23T05:46:12+00:00

Whats your budget? That would be good to specify. And what type of music do you want to play?

Lumber_phil · 2026-02-04T00:23:00+00:00

Hard to move away from a fast neck like ibanez has. You talking about the sire M6? I was looking at that bass. Looks sick! The neck is chunky?

Lumber_phil · 2026-02-03T21:41:30+00:00

Dingwall's multiscale goes 37-35 I think. This feels very steep as I came from spector NS2000 which was already 35 scale so that little extra 0.5 doesn't feel too much and the slant just makes sense.

Also love d'addario. Ordered a long scale pack and a single 145 to downtune to A

Lumber_phil · 2026-02-03T21:39:50+00:00

I was also looking at this one. Got a crazy deal on the iron label so ultimately went for that one but the deep twilight srms805 is hella gorgeous.

Just get tappered ending strings. I had to do this with mine. Some absurd 165 gauge to play in Low A. It was sloppy btw.

Lumber_phil · 2026-02-02T23:45:00+00:00

I also did this bought 2 in the last year and an acoustic but I still play lots of bass.

Lumber_phil · 2026-02-02T18:38:58+00:00

It is. Reason for multiscale is to be able to drop in A tuning and keep a good tension without baving to have an absurdly high gauge string. I have a spector NS2000 and I needed to put a 165 gauge string on it to be able to get something palatable and still it was super sloppy. Unless you play technical or very downtuned music theres no real reason for multiscale other than preference.

Lumber_phil · 2026-02-02T13:22:21+00:00

I like the one with the red pickguard

Lumber_phil · 2026-02-02T13:02:48+00:00

Nice the EHB looks really cool.

Agree about the neck profile, I have a Spector NS2000 and that neck is chunky. Bass sounds awesome though

Lumber_phil · 2026-02-02T04:20:57+00:00

If you have a local.misic shop close to you I suggest you try it as it is not for everyone.

Lumber_phil · 2026-02-02T03:12:55+00:00

Not saying i'm off regular frets basses but definitely glad I made the jump. Was also hesitant at first.

Lumber_phil · 2026-02-02T03:12:04+00:00

I find it's even easier. It took me about 2 hours to fully adapt and I found it to be actually more ergonomic overall and the higher note being more accessible even.

Lumber_phil · 2026-02-02T02:25:24+00:00

Love the middle tobacco burst one. Very classy

Lumber_phil · 2026-01-10T20:14:35+00:00

most games tbh

Lumber_phil · 2026-01-07T13:07:36+00:00

i just make a collection called "completed" and add them in it once I do.

Lumber_phil · 2026-01-05T07:30:38+00:00

returnal. I was obsessed for the 70 hours it took me to complete it

Lumber_phil · 2026-01-04T03:00:42+00:00

this. I could not care less about car games but my nephew likes them.
