I'm a guitarist by trade but I might be joining a metalcore band playing bass. I've been filling in a few times so they may offer me the permanent spot.
So if I get the job which bass would be the best one to get for a metalcore/post-hardcore sound? They play in drop b tuning and I have been using someone's Epiphone Firebird. Most of the bass work involves following guitars so driving the root notes and doubling up on riffs.
Is a 4 string better or a 5 string?
Also what amp heads and cabs? I know very little on bass tone so would appreciate some help.
Thanks.
