Tone, taste and an impeccable sense of the groove ... this guy has it all! Check out what a P bass + SVT + a little creativity sound like: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VP5I7QoqKBA

Chris Wood is one of the most underrated bassists out there. MMW, too. IMO.

Yeah, the video's awesome, it made me feel like such an idiot for never trying a slide on bass. I also had no idea you could get super-nice highs like that with a vintage SVT.

Awesome player nonetheless

|  | no really, smokemeth&hailsatan | | Join Date: Dec 2005 Location: Pueblo, CO | | | Man what an awesome sound! I've actually always really loved the sound of a slide on bass. Not for every application, but it does sound pretty badass if you ask me. |

| | | | His folk stuff is wonderful too. He plays upright on it.

|  | curiously looking back at what once was beautiful | | Join Date: Aug 2008 Location: Oregon | | | I became a rabid fan in '94, heard a live version of Syeeda's and my jaw hit the floor.
Haven't ever heard him play a bad note and his tone is to die for, no matter what rig he's sporting.
Got to see him up close in a duo with his brother (The Wood Brothers). He'll sing, blow harmonica and bow the bass in one song and do it all well.

Still running his electrics through the SVT, with some kind of a booster in front of it to get real crunchy when he wants to. Band was on last night, a great show.

I asked him why a tube-emulating Sansamp in front of an SVT, and he said it was what he used for crunch. |

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Jan 2007 Location: Los Angeles, CA | | | That surprises me. The Sansamp stuff always had a kind of metallic sound to me, his tone is much warmer. Whatever he's using, it definitely works.
