Effects used by prominent bassists

That's a straight tone. No fancy effects but I'm sure the recording engineer did something in the recording/mixing process. I wouldn't say there's anything in terms of effects added by the player himself.

Good, punchy tone. Good luck getting where you want to be.

IK, old thread, but I just had to learn this tune for a gig. I have been diving into Larry's playing of late after listening to him a bunch. Larry is a monster and his playing is great here as always. It's obviously a five string and to me sounds like just a really tasty and warm active five string tone w roundwounds--could be a Yamaha, MTD, mighta been a Tobias-I think he had one back then. Don't think it's a Sadowsky - many Nashville cats used those(and still do) but this doesn't have that sound to my ears. I hear no effects or amp sound, just DI'd bass, but you know it's going through an as-good-as-it-gets front end, comp, eq, etc. Brent Mason is no slouch on guitar either
