for some reason sweep picking on a bass just doesn't sound that great to me. maybe it's because i'm used to them playing funky shit all the time.

yup, those videos are kind of bland but they demonstrate some cool technique. I like his band blood red throne ( http://www.myspace.com/bloodredthrone666 ), simple, catchy death metal

basses should have 4 or 5 strings, any more than that is just silly.

At some point it ceases to be a bass and becomes a large piece of lumber with strings.

So the tuning of the bass is low C#, F#, B, E, A, D, G, C, F, Bb, Eb (half-step below the regular guitar high E string)
Yeah....right!

9 strings of silliness!!!!!

Time to head over to the bank to take out a loan, I need to re-string my bass!

I wouldn't even think you could use half the frets on those basses unless you had a hand full of yardsticks.

And don't care a lick for intonation, those thngs can't POSSIBLY be in tune all across the neck without some fanning of the frets or a gradually scaling neck.

James Labrie could probably pass for a Robert Z'dar lookalike if he got stung in the face by a shitload of bees.
