It's hard to argue with John Paul Jones. Legions of bass players saw and heard that Sunburst J and were just sold forever on that image and tone. |

I also like the sound of Bruce Hall, Mel Schacher, Fran Sheehan

I think Ben's bass tone got a little indistinct on Superunknown and Down On The Upside, I believe after he began using flats all the time (or just plucking lighter, cause flats can do that sound too). Definitely a nice fat j-bass tone on the later two records but Badmotorfinger was very cutting and aggressive  | Those are my favorite J bass tones too.

It's cool people are mentioning Tommy Shannon. I didn't realise he was known for his trusty Jazz bass until fairly recently. To me he was always a Precision guy and his P tone on the SRV stuff is one of the best.

I could be wrong. |

|  | Registered User | | Join Date: May 2001 Location: Evansville, Indiana | | I'm going with Bryan Beller of The Aristocrats, Mike Keneally, Dethklok (although he's using Mike Lull's fantastic-sounding T4 & T5 Basses on that gig), Steve Vai, or his own solo material. In my book he nails the "Modern Jazz Bass" tone when using this main red Mike Lull Modern 5 (which is now his Signature Bass from Lull), Modern 5 fretless or Modern-Vintage 4 J-Basses. Even though he's gone to using a Lull 5-string P/J on some of the Aristocrats material... |

+1 to Timmy C.
Juan Alderet tone in Big Sir is superb - but that's a modded 1970 frettles P (with added J-Pickup, so it's a PJ) - i wouldn't call this a Jazz Bass |

| | | | I'm going to be unoriginal and say Geddy's J-Bass tone on Moving Pictures. His newer J-bass tone is not as good. |

| | | i think Justin Meldal Johnson just nailed such a perfect pick tone on the tour with Nine Inch Nails: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Lqsx2Jn4hE
Quote from JMJ himself: Quote: |
Geddy with DiMarzio Model J's > Tech 21 VT Bass > Sans Amp PSA 1.1 > Palmer speaker simulator. Boo yah, there's the tone.
| i'm not sure if it is the jazz bass or the jaguar bass he also played on this particular song, but great great bass sound and playing for sure: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AJ4RsIw4Cg4
