Favorite Tone

[Beginner Bass]

Which bassist has your favorite tone. My personal favorite is probably Matt Malley of Counting Crows. I thought his tone on This Desert Life was amazing. So who's tone do you want?

 

[bassolp]

JANEK GWIZDALA got the real tone

Dan Brigg's tone on The Great Misdirect is soooo good. Live his tiny 10" speakers kind of fart out a bit or something. I hope I can get a similar sound to his studio work.

Pete Wentz.

Janek sure does have a sweet tone. I love Bona's as well. I've tried and tried to sound like them with no luck, but then again that's not a bad thing. I admire peoples tone but I want to sound like ME, not someone else.

Bass with bottom and top that reaches out and grabs your head by the ears.

 

[Late Boomer]

Tony Levin.

 

[thetawaves]

Ty Zamora. Fills all the sonic gaps bass should and manages to be present in a song

I did always think he was a tad underrated.

 

[Funky President]

Fat, pudgy P-Bass tone like Donald Duck Dunn or James Jamerson

 

[MRDOOM]

either Twiggy Ramirez or Tim Commerford( both their clean and dirty tones)

Fat, pudgy P-Bass tone like Donald Duck Dunn or James Jamerson

Yeah, I like that tone, too. It's the tone I strive for in my own P-Bass.

[Space-Man]

Here are mine:

P-Bass: Geezer Butler, John Wetton, John Entwistle, Phil Lynott, Steve Harris, John Deacon, and Roger Waters(not the best bassist, but sick tone.)

Ricky:Mke Rutherford, McCarsomething(Kinda unknown, but I like him), Geddy Lee and Roger Glover.

J-Bass: Frank Bello and JPJ.

Thunderbird: Martin Turner and Entwistle.


That's all I can think of currently.
