    Looking for female-fronted metal bands, I need your help!

    Sinergy!! Suicide by my side is a damn good album.

    8x10s or 2 4x10s

    Two 4x10's. Or like 006 said, 4x10 and 1x15. Seriously, most venues the 4x10 will push just fine. My 350 watt Hartke head sits on top of a 4x10, and most shows I'm told to turn it down when the volume hasn't even broke past two.

    The best way to achieve a mp3 file.

    Thanks for the correction on that. So many formats out there to keep track of. It's still a pretty damn good format overall.

    The best way to achieve a mp3 file.

    I don't think .ogg would sound better than .wav. Although .ogg is lossless, it's a conversion of the original file type. At best it would be identical.

    Fender Jazz 5string: mexican or squier?

    I have to agree with the others. The Squire VM (has to be maple though) seems to be the better of the two. I own a mexican Fender, and it's my favorite bass, but my Squire VM is basically as good for a lot less.

    educate me on bass strings please

    Pickups might get you even more varied opinions. I like Bartolini's in my Ibanez for a more scooped tone that clanks, but my alltime favorite tone come froms my P-Bass with a Seymour Duncan Quarterpounder. I get instant Steve Harris epic clank without trying. Guys who play pick may have...

    educate me on bass strings please

    The pro steels definitely would. Also Dean Markley Blue steels, or I'm partial to DR Hi-Beams.

    New Bleeding Through 2012 (Ola Reamps?)

    Yeah, everything sounds unmixed as a whole. Do hope it's a rough cut. I actually liked the sound of the last two albums. Song is good though....

    Bass guitar recommendations?

    Yeah, the squier VM are ridiculous. Got the fretless J-bass and was suprised by the quality.

    Recording Chain for getting huge bass tone

    Danelectro Honeytone for the grit.

    Recent(ish) metal albums with either bad use of Drum Samples/Triggering, or NONE.

    The Scattering of Ashes from Into Eternity has one of the worst sounding kick samples I've heard in a long time.

    My latest client: Midnight Realm (epic proggy stuff) Check'em out!

    Sounds real good man. It's pretty accessible for being a tech band. Production is killer in my opinion as well.

    My best high-fantasy metal... (Plec, Lasse, Ermz)

    Definitely found something to jam to while playing Skyrim. Awesome job on everyones part.

    Hartke LH1000 and Hyrdrive Cabs

    I own a Hartke HA3500 on top of a 410xl, but recently tried out the hydrive cabs. I think the newer cabs are fantastic. They really pull of the extreme ends of low and high quite well. I have loved aluminium cones for a while, but the hybrids seem to bring some extra oomph. Didn't mess with the...
