I wouldn't get that bass even if simply for the reasons that there's two humongous slipknot logos inlaid into it. I don't have anything against Slipknot, but the only way I'd play a guitar that says I'M IN SLIPKNOT is if I were in slipknot

as far as low metal goes, that bass doesn't really have much going on. I'd much sooner get a 35" Traben 5-string like a Chaos or an Array with an enormous bridgeplate and tune it down to wherever you want it.

Am I the only one that thinks that bass is really really ugly?

However, if you want to play uber low metal, that is definitely not the bass for you. I can tell by looking at it that the scale length is not intended for the "uber low range" (even if it's a Slipknot bass -- which I don't remember the bass player in that band having a bass that looked remotely like that). I'd personally get a 5-string. If you were dead set on a 4-string, I'd get one that was longer -- and not insanely ugly like that.

I didn't want to be the first to say it but yeah that bass is hideous

The guy from slipknot used Warwicks until he got this signature bass, so I guess he's just used to basses that look like they were designed by a 4 year old with a box of crayons
