Paul D'Amour
Tim Commerfield
Most people say my tone is a weird blend of both of those guys.
I've got the agressive attack of Paul, and the Midsy Driving Punch of Tim.

Emotional and tecnics , both made a good sound . I hear something like "I play when they requisits my job and one thing that i really known it´s a crazy sound" . Because if they wish he will play . But we know several style of sounds . We understand when "logical sounds" is made . I think that it is a serious and meticulous art to done greats sound that a lot of people will enjoy because it´s made to be .Murf said:

all good ones.
One of my FAV rock bass tones was Eddie Jackson from Queensryche. Talk about punch and grind. Check out "Eyes of a Stranger" or "Della Brown", sometime.
He and Scott Rockenfeld were one of the great underrated rythm sections in old-school metal. And they're still doing it.

Graham Maby always sounds perfect. (It helps that he also plays perfect....
)
Other tone masters in my bass world:
Sting
Paul McCartney (check out the tone on "Silly Love Songs" - midrangy niceness - of course the line is no slouch.....)
Tony Levin
Doug Pinnick
JJ Burnel
Anyone playing with Steely Dan
Steve Swallow
I hate scooped midrange, and dislike excessive treble, as anyone who saw my basic amp settings during my recent GTG can probably attest to...... This means I don't like much in the way of modern electric jazz bass tones despite loving the playing. Clickety-clacky bass is just not as effective at imparting groove IMO, and the high frequencies of the finger/slap sound sonically interfere with the drummers' metal. Again, IMO. I like the "playing with mittens on" sound for the most part.

Joe Loeffler's sound on "The Clincher." What a great dirty tone; and it was wasted on such a generic song. Shame; though, he also has pretty good tone on "Mia," which is a pretty good song anyway.
Mark Sandman had great tone, too. Aside from the slide and two strings, it just sounded full, round, and warm. I dug it.
Stefan Ude's finger tone on "Don't Give Me Names" in general. Huge, meaty, a little overdriven, fairly articulate, and just overall powerfull. Check out "Gogan" and their cover of "Big In Japan" for references. "Gogan"s finger tone is just digusting. That man has my tone!
