Examples of "that" tone you strive for.

Nick Harmer - Death Cab for Cutie

Ive always been a fan of Nicks. He has some killer tones, and some killer lines.

Yep. Him and Pino are the two reason why I bought a P-Bass. I have to say it's quickly become my number 1 player over my JO5.

I'd like to see the EQ curve he used on that! haha, I bet it was all mids from about 200hz up to 1k. I mean, like thru the roof mids. Awesome tone.

This is the tone I was looking for when researching my new vintage instrument. I bought a '66 Jazz for it.

But that sounds like a P bass, though its JPJs Jazz with its neck pickup solo'd, IIRC.

Doobies with Tiran Porter!

My desired tone depends on how I'm feeling (lol jeez I sound emo...)

Bouncing souls, around 1:19

Listen to "Death Reigns"

I want that tone sooo bad...don't know how to get it

"Decimate" is also a good example.

Actually I think "Decimate" is the best example. IMO, A perfect hardcore/metal tone. Exactly what I want. This band has really good mixing too, lots of present hardcore bands mix out the bass or it's unhearable..this band does it just right.

Also I know some of the purists are going to say it doesn't have enough bass...see them live, it has so much bass you'll crap yourself.

I love the hard rock clip (both pickups, rounds).

I also really like the tone that this guy gets on his playalong of Keep Forgetting by Michael McDonald.



All things considered, I really like my tone (Squier CV Jazz w/ rounds > Ampeg SVT-VR > Carvin BR810). I can finally understand why everyone raves about all tube amps and can see why they're worth the hassle of lugging around. Beautiful tone!

Good to see some MUTEMATH love out there. Roy's P-Bass + flats + Ampeg combo is to die for. You MUST see them live.

Check out 2:24 for my dream tone:

I'm starting to find my myself leaning more towards the P bass camp. I loved Tommy's sound at El Mocambo.

Around 1:50 or so.
