Who do you think has the most aggressive bass tone. I am talking about during a song, not for solo's.
Personally, I think that Joey DeMaio of Manowar has the most aggressive tone I have ever heard. |

| | | | I've always liked the first 8 bass notes at the beginning of Running With The Devil - Van Halen, it's got a bit of kick to it. |

Paul D'amour with Tool. |

Justin Chancellors sound on Jambi also rocks pretty hard.
Henkka Blacksmith of Children of Bodom has a hella mean sonding tone, check out the intro to the song 'Warheart', it kicks some ass.
Juan Alderete also has a great tone on Day of the Baphomets, especially when he picks up speed during the intro.
my two cents. |

Oh and Matt, I am currently listening to (and really digging) Noxagt. Thanks for the link.

Billy sheehan's tone with Niacin. If listen to the intro of a mr. big song called "Jane Doe", now there is a great tone! |

| | | | Definately Joey DeMaio has the most aggressive tone. Especially on the new Manowar live album "Gods of War Live" his bass sound is a killer. |

| | | | I don't know his name, but the bass player from the band Charles Bronson had pretty vicious tone.
