Examples of "that" tone you strive for.

[Essen]

Deftones' bassist, Chi Cheng uses/used a P bass and an ampeg rig. I love his sound!

I would love to be able to achieve what Julian Cope calls the "telegraph wire" sound.
Geezer really defined that sound on albums like "Master of Reality": , if only because it would require a fleet of tubes. That clip doesn't really do the bass sound justice.

 

[D.M.N.]

I'd like to strive for a mix between Live at Leeds, JPJ, Jack Bruce, and Noel Redding. Pretty classic, just big, lots of mids, and loud.

The beast that is Stuart Zender

 

[Hugh9191]

A sound I love but will probably never be able to fit into anything I play in.

 

[Les Izmor]

While I'm one of the few who doesn't flip for Sco, this clip is nice. And I'm really, really digging the venue!! Cultural commitment in that town for sure.... love it.

 

[Don Sibley]

I know this guy isn't a recording artist but you have to admit, it's some pretty slick tone:
