I’m starting a funky doom metal project, any suggestions

I’m creating a project that will be a mix of funk and doom metal. Any suggestions for the name or examples of a genre like this before me? I found downtuning strings make them easier to slap and the closest predecessor to this I can name is this the corossive groove in eyehategod s sisterfucker

Faith no more?

sounds like a shit idea

you really going to play funk with a precision and doom with a 4string?

Early black sabbath and the lemon song perfected this long ago

What would you suggest?

5string jazz

lemon song isnt either funk or doom not even close

i'm interested in making some kind of hip hop doom metal fusion too, we should link OP

What instrument do you play?

Stop posting on Sup Forums

>funk and doom metal
oil and water.


alternating rithms ? what travesty.

i suggest that you don't

i also play bass but i mainly play drums and keyboards

How much does it cost? Also, I thought I could just detune it.

whos a travesti

I’m a tranvestite too, so it will be Visual Kei funk doom metal

mind posting pics

Yes

pls post em

I do mind and I’m ugly

But how?

Someone said my bass isn’t good enough, what should I get and what would it cost? Also, what should the band name be?

first off, downtuning bass is for the gays. low E is already stupid ridiculous low. If you don't know how low that low E is, then you don't know how to write heavy riffs. That thing is so damn low.

If you MUST have your lowlowlowlow notes, by a 5 or 6 string. Nothing is more evil than the low B
IT'S SO EEVIIIILLLL

Second, that bass is a nice bass. Just by a cheap usb interface and start recording demos until you find people who are interested in joining.

>"You really gonna play funk with a precision"
>what is james jamerson

How would I combine the elements? Also I’m doing this mostly for slap ability

don't listen to him, plenty of bassists use fender ps for funk, most notably james jamerson, plus the jazz's sound is way too thin for doom, just downtune your p

>slapping in any tuning other than standard
I'm a bassist, and this offends me to my core.
Again, I'd tell you to buy a 5 or 6 string if you want lower notes.

When you play slap bass, you absolutely NEED tension on all strings. If they're loose and floppy, you'll get farty slap/pop sounds and everyone will think you're a fag

Okay
The main problem is that I might be playing with guitarists downtuning.

If you have a 5 or 6, you're covered up until drop B. If your guitarists are tuning to B, they'd better be playing on 7 strings, otherwise THEY'RE gonna sound farty and muddy.

I have a 6 string bass, and the lowest I've ever dared tune it was drop G (which is just 2 steps down on the bottom, 1 step down on all the rest) and even in that tuning, things started to get 'iffy' as far as muddiness.

A sloppy, buzzy, farty low G will never sound as good as a nice tight, booming G played on in standard on the 3rd fret/bottom string. All stringed instruments demand tension, my friend. Bass just demands a lot more tension.

What’s a fairly good cheap 5 string

Fuck man, almost aaaaany bass or guitar can play great with a decent setup.

Check your local craigslist. If there's no action there, go to a few pawn shops in the area. Last resort would be reverb.com or ebay. Rouge, yamaha, and ibanez make some pretty cheap 5 and 6 strings that can play great with a good setup (fret end filing, neck polish, fret polish, truss adjust, bridge saddle height and length adjust). You'll be playing that sweet stoner doom sludge in no time.

Thanks. What should I name it?

NAME IT SATAAAAAAANNN

Can't recommend that. I mean yeah they have 5 strings for like $220 or so, but the quality is EXTREMELY hit or miss. Mine has a misaligned bridge so that the intonation on the 12th fret and up is just eternally fucked and it'd cost at least half the price of the bass itself to get it fixed. Spend $300 min on a good 5 string.

No something unsettling yet funky

Your bass is fine, just buy a 5 string set of strings B .135, E .105, A .85, D .65, G .45 and get rid of either the E if your tuning up or the G string if your tuning down.

This guy doesn't know shit. Hit up craigslist, hit up pawn shops. Play every cheap bass you can find. You'll know if it's right for you by how it feels.

Name your bass SAAAAATTTAAAAAAANNNNNNN
