I couldn't get past his tone, but I recently found some clips of him on YouTube with Bill Evans and he has a nice woody tone. I wish I had heard this material earlier because he really is a great player.

I've listened to this CD countless times and will never tire of how the group plays together, Eddie's melodius solos/basslines, or his stunningly gorgeous tone. |

| | | | huh, pretty weird I came into this forum because I love Eddies distinct and different sound, and to see if others knew how to obtain that sound, but instead it turns out the majority of you guys dislike his tone and prefere the traditional sound. But I can understand, Im bias as I started on electric and I guess I like his tone because I relate to it alot more. Still I would of thought more people on here would be saying how great his sound is, anyway only my opinion. |

He was paired with Steve Gadd and they were a formidable team. One of my favorite rhythm sections.
Of that bunch of releases "My Favorite Things" (a live set) is one of my favorite things.
Worth seeking out, IMHO.
He turns up in the darndest places.
That release he had with Ralph Towner on ECM (Old Friends, New Friends) always struck me as an odd one -- I like it, I was just surprised to see EG turn up there. I guess Ralph liked him because they have at least two on ECM. And then again with Bill Brueford on "If Summer Had Its Ghosts".
And correct me if I'm wrong but I believe he did a stint with Bela Fleck. |

i totally am not in to his or marc johnson's amplified sound so much.
I took lessons with him last year and when we played duos his tone unamplified was amazing. Gary peacock's sound amplified is much more bearable to my ears. I also hate MY sound amplified until i changed my setup. In the studio i can actually listen to myself. |

Listening to it, Eddie's tone sounds incredible, but it also feels like an amp accomodates his sound very well. But yeah, Eddie's definitely one of my favorites, one of my biggest influences. |

Thumbs up for that!
When I need to amplify the bass I use a microphone; it doesn't get any better. |

Some great stuff. I love what he does with Bag's Groove. Just a simple blues and he runs circles around it.
