I am looking for a new bass, my old bass is fine for practicing, but it is falling apart and I can't afford a case for it so I think I am going to get a new one (It's a Dean V Metalman). Gigs are beginning to come up for my band and I need a new bass soon and even though I have been looking into getting a new bass for awhile now I think it is time to finally make a decision. I just need to know what kind I need to get for a metal band because I don't want to buy the wrong one that won't sound how I need it to.
