|  | Registered User | | | | | *dUg Pinnick - I had just Started playing bass when I discovered King's X. Imo he has the perfect bass tone.
* Rex Brown - Big, punchy, aggresive sound. I have always loved his style of playing and he is probably the bassist I admire most.
* Sean Yseult - She Rocks. Massive bass sound with a tribal sort of beat.

Marcus Miller's another favourite for me, especially the Silver Rain album.
Also, McCartney's work on his Ric, like "Rain" or "Paperback Writer".

Another bassist with a unique sound and style is Anthony Jackson. His use of the his B string is recorded in every thing that he plays. |

Paul McCartney (65/68: Revolver etc)
Rocco Prestia in early TOP
anything "dark-with-attack"
HATE trebly sounds (the great Chris Squire, lots of Entwistle, they were great but not my cup of tea).
I dream of a bass with the tone control ranging from 0 to 3...

Chris Squire - it's the Relayer tone for me
Geddy - Red Barchetta is great, but the black Wal tone from Show of Hands was my Holy Grail for the longest time.
Gary Willis - always
Jimmy Johnson - live at the Beacon
Not yet mentioned
Lee Sklar - Your Smiling Face live
Jimmy Haslip's chorused fretless sound on Live Wires
Dee Murray on Amoreena
