Shredder Basses

I'm looking into getting a long scale bass to tune down super low to match my iceman for my hebbies. I generally want to stay away from anything that has more than 4 strings. What are some cool options?

I remember seeing a Jackson bass that was bassically a dinky with a reverse headstock, but I can't seem to find it anywhere online. It sounded monstrous.

Was it the Jackson Concert bass? The headstock's not reversed but maybe there is a flipped version.

I'd say Hozi shreds the hell out of her fender.

Edit, maybe not the best example but trust me she gets pretty nuts with that thar bass. I like that song though and I'm fucked up waiting for the adrenalin from tonight to wear off :facepalm:

all the Jackson basses I've played have had Pbass shaped necks, maybe they have changed that.. or not… I think out of all my basses my Warlock is the most suited for shredy playing.. the neck is just perfect for playing crazy fast shit on :rock:
Second would be my Ibanez Destroyer :thumb:

I will confess that the warlock is my least favorite guitar shape ever. But that destroyer is gorgeous.

Yeah it was the concert bass, but it had 5 strings and a cool reverse headstock.

:idk: yeah, I got the warlock more as it was a great deal and my guitarist has the matching guitar.. That distorter I've had since I was 16, it is such a cool bass. I haven't got to play any of the reissues yet but in general I like Ibanez stuff. As for the Jackson… if what you want is a pbass body with a pointy head look at kramers and charvells and BC rich Gunslingers from the 80's - early 90's :idk:

I'm not really a metal guy, but I got a chance to play a Schecter that would probably make a badass metal bass. I think it was a Hellraiser:

Yeah, my local shop got a used Schecter Silhouette Custom 4 in, and I was pretty impressed by how it played.

And then, there's always this: http://www.schecterguitars.com/bass/sea ... ass-detail
