Top 3 recorded bass tones

[UncleMattGuy]

1. The guy from queensryche on jet city woman
2. Chris Squire on close to the edge.
3. Geddy on farewell to kings

[Selta]

"The guy from Queensryche". I love it. Didn't even bother to google it before starting the thread :P.
I'd have to think about it... but I'm pretty sure the question is too vague for me to answer.

Edit:
I'll say this:
1) J Bass
2) P Bass
3) Stingray/Sterling

[Luckie]

1- Deja Vu- CSNY
2- Street Life- The Crusaders
3- Live at Leeds- The Who

My personal favorites of course.

[UncleMattGuy]

Just killing time dude, lighten up. Googling crap like that on my phone sucks. It's not vague, it's just a more positive twist to the recent thread in which people berated various bassist's tone one a recording.

[danomite64]

Good to see you're so dedicated to your thread, The guy who started this thread.

[mmbongo]

Geddy on Power Windows
Geddy on Hold Your Fire
Geddy on Roll The Bones

Was Roll The Bones on a 5 string Wal? If it was or wasn't, still a good choice.

Ged on anything, really. My number one for tone.
Marcus Miller, especially with SMV. My favorite slap tone.
I don't have a 3rd.

[solarplexus]

Justin Chancellor... thank you.

Thank you! That sounded a little wacky to me too. I was starting to think this was like Scientology or something

[lpdeluxe]

Top 3? By what criteria? There are a lot of gifted bassists out there. Why do you want to exclude all but three?

[kcole4001]

I think he means 'top 3 in your opinion'.
Far too subjective a subject for any other interpretation (in my opinion).

I'll play:
My favorites (the order really depends on my mood at the time)
1)Geddy on Limelight
2)Tony Levin on absolutely anything he played on
3)Tom Petersson on Gonna Raise Hell

How's that for variety?

[JetBlackJazz]

1. Cliff Burton (any from Master of Puppets)
2. Les Claypool ( his fretless skill and most anything N.I.B)
3. Al Cisneros (ANYTIME!)

[cybersnyder]

Tony Levin on "So"
Geddy Lee on "Counterparts"
That dude on the Queensryche album with the song that goes like "duh duh de duh da daa"

(Bonus points if you can name that tune.)

[lavmonga]

I'm going to get flamed for this, But Gene Simmons on Creatures of the Night is still my favorite tone: YouTube - KISS - Rock And Roll Hell

2. Macca on Abbey Road
3. Cliff Burton (When you can hear him ) on Master of Puppets

[Tommygunn]

Mike Dirnt-Anything off 'smoothed out slappy hours', 'dookie' or 'nimrod'
Krist Novoselic-Anything off 'From the muddy banks of the Wiskah'
Mark Hoppus- Anything off 'Dude Ranch'

Maybe not the best 3 (especially the 3rd) but those are all I can think of at the moment.

[mcm]

this week it is:

greg ridley off the 'smokin' album - killer!

tony stevens of foghat on the muddy waters tune 'i just wanna make love to you' (no, really, ha!)

glenn hughes of deep purple on the album 'come taste the band' and other dp from that era

[Rockmusician]

Anything that Marcus Miller does

Talking in Your Sleep by The Romantics

Red Skies by The Fixx

I also like Geddy on Limelight
