question help: I got a couple of questions about guitars. - Help.com

I got a couple of questions about guitars.

1. What are good bass guitar strings for hard rock/metal?
2. Can all distortion pedals work with both Electric and Bass guitars?
3. What is a good bass guitar for hard rock/metal? I thought Ibanez might be good.
4. Is the Ibanex WD7 Weeping Demon Wah Pedal worth buying?
5. Which is the best site for buying this stuff: Sweetwater, Music123, or Musiciansfriend?

This is my first question (s) by the way =D.

I used to play metal guitar in a band (not bass though I’m afraid,) so I know a bit but not very much about what you’re asking.
(1) I always used Ernie Ball strings: good all rounders.
(2) Yes you can get distortion pedals for both but best to stick with real valve overdrive if you can.
(3) Anything you feel comfortable with, get a guitar with at least one humbucker though.
(4) No idea.
(5) See above.

depends
most heavy metal bassist use precision bass’s
for slap and pop, jazz and funk and rock bands like red hot chilli peppers your better of with a jazz bass guitar.

squier bass’s come in precision or jazz for less than $300 australian dollars
