Two Tone Tommy from My Morning Jacket.

Anyone else into his bass lines and sound?

I love his tone, pretty much what a P bass should sound on a rock band. Here is a good example:

It sounds really good, but I haven't heard of him before.

Here he is New Years at MSG playing a Birdsong - he has two (that I know of), including Birdsong CortoFusion #2 (I have the prototype, from the same plank of wood.

Very good and apparently a really good guy.

I saw them on Ausin City Limits and thought he was using a birdsong or something strange. It definatley waasn't a P but who knows what he records with...Holiday is a good song.

[acleex38]

He has two (that I know of) - Cortofusion #2 (my bass's twin and the 'fusion that appeared in one of their Bass Player magazine ads) and a RatRod - either the first or the second of them. The Fusion appeared on Jay Leno and the Rat Rod showed up at the New Years/Times Square appearance.

That said, their last album predates the Birdsongs, so it's all P bass (from what I can tell).

he is a great guy and player...grew up in the same home town...he used to work at local video store! anyways...great guy, great player, great tone...and at least on the earlier stuff...all p-bass's...he had a black one for a good while i think...

Anyone else hear a healthy dose of bridge pickup in there? I'm pretty sure a tone like that is hard to get with a vanilla P.

I like My Morning Jacket but the amount of vocal echo on their studio recordings "muds" up the overall sound. What's up with that?

[svtscruggs]

example A. looks like 3 P-basses and a Gibson or Epiphone...but yeah does look like the P's may be PJ's or at least one of em???

i love MMJ and Two Tone's groove. He has some pretty cool lines that really move and help to counter the guitar lines.

i don't think it muds it up at all. they record vocals in grain silo's to get all that verb. pretty creative and inventive if you ask me.

[JulienJeff]

he's one of my favorite bassists.
His tone is great and he makes great basslines.
I saw MMJ once and I was in front of him. Great attitude too.
He sounds good on okonokos

Dondante !!! the live version on "okonokos" is one of my favorite songs ever ! It's pure magic. The guitar, the bass, the drums, the saxophone at the end... go listen to it ;-)


Edit: I'm going to see them in November and I'm excited !! saw them 5 years ago and I've been waiting since then to see them again (they cancelled their european tour 2-3 years ago)
