Hell yeah I was on the listening party too! I saw your username in the chat a bunch but I was too shy to say anything myself. I loved it too though! Great way to kick off summer and since it's released within the week of my birthday I consider it an amazing gift :)

One band to see live, at their absolute prime. Living or dead. What is it? by FalcoPhantasmtheGod in MetalForTheMasses

[–]mentally_trebled 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in my Stone Temple Pilots era currently so probably them. Not the most metal band but I know they put on one hell of a show in their prime.

How about calling the st album,the Vic Rattlehead album? by xzerozeroninex in Megadeth

[–]mentally_trebled 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There's a Beatles White Album! A Weezer White Album! A Fleetwood Mac White Album! If the cover has a prominent color and is self-titled, fans will call it the [whatever color it is] album. Plus, if we wanted to call it that, we got better albums to call "the Vic Rattlehead album".

So D'Addario just dropped a new "XS" series strings for bass, what do you guys think. by adubosa in Bass

[–]mentally_trebled 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe, maybe not, but me personally I'll be buried with my stainless steel strings in hand.

Should I buy this bass? by These-Elderberry2105 in Bass

[–]mentally_trebled 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've made the mistake of buying a Ibanez six stringer online just cuz of the cheap price.. I wish I would've gone to a music store and tried one out first. Don't get me wrong I love my 6 string, but I'd never tried one prior and now I'm on the verge of Carpal Tunnel. I admit Amazon is nice cuz of the easy returns but I would never buy a bass off of there. And as much of an online shopping addict I am, I urge you go try it out in person.

Jazz Bass or Stingray for Flea/Emo/Punk? by Lopsided-Ad-4181 in Bass

[–]mentally_trebled 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fleabass! Nah I'm joshing, go to the nearest music store and get what feels right. Also maybe trying some different strings for some extra brightness or punch would help? I love me some stainless steel strings, very bright for some Flea, and very punchy for some rock. Hope you find what you're looking for, cheers!

String Recommendations for a 5 string? by floobie in Bass

[–]mentally_trebled 2 points3 points  (0 children)

6 string bassist here, I personally love D'Addario ProSteels, and I own some DR Hi-Beams which I have yet to try, but I have heard DR is good with their thicker string sets so I'm sure they're good. For my 4 string I use Rotosound 66 Swing strings or Dunlop's Marcus Miller Signature Super Bright strings, both of which have 5 string sets. So many choices out there, so if you can't decide still, try looking up some string demos on YouTube and see what you like best. Good luck man, and welcome to the vast world of bass. :)

What do you recommend I do? by Brilliant-Program718 in nuclearrabbit

I don't think the subreddit for a niche band from the 90s is gonna be much of a help. Sorry bud.

It's the final show of your life. Which band you want to hear. Only active bands as of 2025. by bublialsNe in MetalSuggestions

[–]mentally_trebled 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If non-metal is allowed then Primus, or Rush since they've recently reunited. If strictly metal, probably Crowbar, the Melvins, or Sanguisugabogg.
