Dave Larue's tone on his solo "Hub City Kid" CD and the Dixie Dregs "Bring 'Em Back Alive" CD.
The Spector tone at it's finest. |

I'm gonna catch hell for this, but I love Duff McKagan's tone on Appetite for Destruction (think of all the stuff OTHER than "Sweet Child of Mine"). I tend to favor J-bass-with-a-pick tones (not enough to use a pick myself though  ), and I think his is the best of the bunch. It's a fine line between cutting through the mix and being too clanky, and he walks it perfectly on that album - or at least the engineer does. To my ears, it's a perfect rock mix; the bass is present throughout without getting too nasal.
IMO, YMMV, please don't hurt me... |

| | | If you wanna talk PICK tones on a J-bass, I'm goin' with Joe Osborn!
...and I agree with those who feel McCartney has a nice pick tone goin' on, too.

2) Paul D'Amour on Tool's "Undertow"
3) Doug Pinnick from King's X, especially on the songs "Ooh Song" and "What I Know About Love".. there is no meaner tone in the world than this!

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Apr 2001 Location: Illinois | | | Recently, I have been listening to Tool a lot more, and both Justin Chancellor and Paul D'Amour add the right sound to the songs. IMO, i think that Timmy C from Rage... has great tone on the whole Evil Empire album. I also think that Dirk Lance from Incubus has really good low-end sound. And everyone out there has to love Geddy Lee's tone. And last Eric Wilson from Sublime.

I dig wooten and jaco's tone. oh, and Stanley Clarke has an awesome tone as well |

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Feb 2001 Location: Jersey | | | Some of my favorite bass tones are:
Geddy Lee: I did not like his tone with the Steinberger or Wal's. His Ric and Fender Jazz tones however are to die for.
Justin Chancellor: Great edgy tone + good use of effects.
Eddie Jackson: Back when they did Mindcrime and Empire, he had an awesome sound. I did not follow anything they did after that.
Stefan Lessard: Nice and mellow, but with drive.
Tom Barney: Listen to Gaslighting Abbie. I don't know if that's his Stingray 5 or custom ESP, but I would wager it's the ESP.
Marcus: I'm usually not a fan of scooped funk, but I think his playing makes all the difference here.
STP - DeLeo: Not at all times, but that sound on Down is killer. Love that trebly edge with lots of bass behind it.
Staind - April: Good generic pick sound for metal.
Stanley Clarke: Always a pleasure.
Live - Dahlheimer: Has had some good sounds throughout their albums, most notably on Lakini's Juice from Secret Samadhi.
I'm sure I left some out, but those come to mind for now.

|  | TalkBass' resident Bongo + Cowbell player | | Join Date: Nov 2000 Location: Bucaramanga, Colombia, South A | | I think it's a tough question. Basically, i favor the Stu Hamm/Vic Wooten/Flea type of sound, but i also love Jaco's, Paul McCartney in songs like "With a little help from my friends" or "Everybody's got something to hide except me and my monkey" and the "Barney Miller" tone (i don't know who's the player).  |

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Jun 2001 Location: Washington DC | | | without a doubt Jaco!!!! What a master bassist he was. Listen to his solo debut album and also his stuff with Weather Report and what not.
I also like Oteil Burbridges tone, John Patitucci, Marcus, Matthew Garrison and more...
