Favorite Bass Tone on YouTube

[Boot Soul]

That is cool .... I never thought about using the cover on a P Bass to anchor and pivot the thumb for muting E. I have the covers off of my Ps 'cause I thought they were useless! I'm gonna put one back on my flatwound P now.

Anyone know who is doing these Fender demos? Great style! My wrist would explode at that angle however.

That was mel brown's demo
Nice fretless grooves by tony franklin here:

 

[Peke]

This across my mind at first.

Best P-Bass Sound i ever heard:

 

[RED J]

There is a reviewer on jamstage.cz ( youtube) named Jaryn Janek who gets killer tone out of everything he plays. He's really on a par with Ed Friedland IMO and does a balanced review. Polish up on your Czech but bass-ese will suffice.Invalid Link Removed

Cool tune. However the difference in tone between those two videos isn't because of the basses, it's because of the recording processes. Pro setup with close mic and/or DI will beat cell phone every time!

This guy's tone slays me.

Haha, was just about to post some vulfpeck here right before I saw this.

If memory serves, that is an official Fender demo, the player being a session cat by the name of Mel Brown. And yeah, his playing is great, but just looking at his wrist makes my tendons ache.

I know I already posted, but I have to add this. Every video on this guy's channel is rife with great tone.

 

[raventepes]

I'm gonna have to go with Grzegorz Kosinski. Any of his videos, really, regardless of which instrument he's playing. This is just one of my favourites by him.

Hey guys I know atleast a couple of you have to have sent some time online listening to some fellow bassist shred. What is the best tone you've stumbled across and why? Mine are below:


Probably the best pbass tone as well as the greatest finish! Love the neck residue as well.


Bon Jovi also shreds?? Rick with some real steel strings on it.

The P bass is great but I don't think it was given proper justice. The amp sounded too mid scooped which is OK and all but I would've like to hear some other eq settings like flat, or mids boosted. Also the reviewer just played some Iron Maiden and rock riffs. He should've thrown in some R&B or Motown type riffs and maybe some blues as well.
