I don't particularly like this song, but this bass tone to my ears is the Holy Grail. YMMV, right tool for the job, etc, but if I had to have one bass tone for the rest of my life, this would be it. JAMES BROWN It's Too Funky In Here - YouTube
Post an example of your ideal bass tone.

This just about does it for me. Smooth, warm and round to gritty and sustain-y.

This tone + a little bit of grit would be bliss.

| | | Dave Dinsmore's tone on the Album "Coping with the Urban Coyote" by Unida. So fat, punchy and growly. Close to my Holy Grail. Few Examples: Unida - Thorn Unida - You Wish
Also, Nick Oliveri's sound on "Blues for the Red Sun" by Kyuss. Especially love his tone on this song (Love the clean jam part at the end, starting at 3:02) : Kyuss - 50 Million Year Trip

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Dec 2008 Location: Long Island, NY | | | it depends so much on context, witch is something i used to never "get." on some beatles tunes, mccartneys hofner is exactly what you need and fits perfectly. other times i really dig tal wilkenfelds sadowsky, or owen biddles 30" scale 6 string on the last roots album. (did i really just mention two 30" scale basses in this thread, while my bass is 35.5" scale?) richard bona's fretless sounds fantastic on lots of tracks too.
but if you switched the basses between any of these people it probably woulden't sound too good. yet i consider each of them perfect. as well as my own sound, witch is kind of different from each of the above. context - and everyone elses sound - is almost more important than your own gear and tone. |
