Tav Posted December 24, 2004 Report Share Posted December 24, 2004 There so many bass sounds in Metallica let alone those other bands it would be hard to come up with settings for all of them. I am sure some one will have gone to the bother online but GraemeC has a point with "bass players all use different sounding guitars, all use different back line, and all have different playing techniques.
