Classic Rock recordings featuring bass OD

...I realize there's such a subjective take on if a tone is Overdriven or distortion. I came across a couple cool used OD pedals and got to thinking "What are some great examples of bass OVERDRIVE in classic rock recordings?" I have a pretty large music library, my first thought was JPJ on Led Zeppelin II.

What say you pros?

 

Nice take.

 

Mel is probably my biggest influence. I personally consider HIS tone a full on fuzz. Total tube amp goodness.

 

I heard the first notes of "Are You Ready" off the Live Album and I was hooked. E Pluribus Funk and "Footstompin' Music" are a really really close second. I have a pretty good fuzz for when I want to play some bong-rattling Schacher stuff.

 

Good pull. I thought of them, too.

 

He'd probably be in there. Would that early Geddy Rick tone be OD, or distortion? (I personally would call it distortion but it's almost entirely a subjective list.) I'm going to be doing some A/B tests of some new OD pedals and refreshing my memory of some players is part of the prep

 

I'd be remiss if I didn't include Roger Glover and his early 70's stuff w/ Deep Purple. Just a Rickenbacker driving the hell out of an SVT. I do wonder if any of these old pros did anything to boost their signal to intentionally overdrive their gear. Basic stuff, but remember MUCH of that older stuff didn't have pedals!
