Most Imitated Tones?

Sign in to disble this ad
Which bassists have the most imitated tones? IMO, Marcus Miller is high on that list. I would guess Flea is there too. Who else?

+1 I agree Anthony, Marcus' tone is probably the most sought after tone in bass next to Jaco's. Let's face it, his tone is always musical and always perfect for the song, what more could one ask for. On a related note, I think if a bassist wants to get a lot of work he or she should try to emulate Nathan East's tone, a little bit of his feel wouldn't hurt either IMHO.....

Cheers,
