Right now, it's still Jaco. But I was inspired to pick up the instrument by:
Paul McCartney, Paul Chambers, Ron Carter, Al Stinson, Oscar Pettiford, Mingus, JPJ, Chris Squire, and, most recently, Baghiti Khumalo(most famous by his awesome playing on Paul Simon's Graceland album).

I also dig is tone on the song Animate (from the Counterparts Album). In his BP interview from 93' he indicated that only the AMP signal was used on that track (Fender Jazz > Old Ampeg Head > Trace 4X10 cabs).
Doug Pinnick has always been a hero of mine. Sick, sick tone. Of course, he usually plays a 12-string Hamer! Or least he used to. The Bass tone on King's X album "Dogman" is to die for.
Eric Avery (Jane's Addiction) is another Bassist with amazing tone.
Most will laugh at this one, but I love the Bass tone on the latest Silverchair album "Diorama". Chris Joannou tears it up on a G&L L-2000. That tone is part of the reason why I purchased my L-2000.

Chris Squire, John Paul Jones (punchy Achilles Last Stand, and bassy Lemon Song), Marcus Miller's slap tone, Victor Wooten. Les Claypool, of course. Duff McKagan, Steve Harris, Stu Hamm. And who can forget Jaco! |

| | | | i LOVE the sound of Flea's bass on blood sugar sex magik, to me it doesnt get anymore perfect than that. i never found out what amps he used on that.
i also dig the guy from fugazi, especially on 13 songs. |

08-09-2003, 07:35 PM
| | | i first thought it was the GK but his sound on that album just sounds so different from his live tone (he uses GKs live now i guess. maybe due to the wal bass, but it just sounds like its more than that. probably one of those complex rack systems  |

an underrated player- I liked how he played with a pick, fingerstyle and slap with Porno for pyros, similar to how Billy Gould with Faith no more and Derek Forbes with early Simple Minds did- also tone monsters. |

Stuart Zender and the late great Bernard Edwards, in that order.
IMO, they have similar tone and style, but as much as Bernard laid down the foundation for it, Stu went on with that phat, juicy, punchy tone coupled with really, really funky playing. Stu just made it a little better to my ear.
Hot damn!! Just thinking about that tone gets me all warmed up!

Does anyone know what bass gear was used to record that album?
- Tom
P.S. What is Martyn up to now, since he left Jane's?

Punk bass players can be increadible player's but overlooked because of the genre of music they are in. I personally am not a pick player, but these guys sound awsome.
Chris #2 from Anti-Flag
Matt Freeman from Rancid
Hunter from AFI
check out Maxwell Murder by Rancid for an increadible bass solo |

P.S. What is Martyn up to now, since he left Jane's? | last I heard, he was touring with Dave Gahan (Depeche Mode singer).
he seemed to be using a different bass in every live clip I've seen of him with Porno For Pyros- a Musicman stingray, a G&L L2000, and a Warwick thumb.
also he used a Fender Jazz live with The Cult.
the tone on PFP's "cursed female" suggests to me it could be the L2000. | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
