Favourite recorded bass tone

[millsbass5]

allen woodys tone w/Govt Mules CD Dose---Eddie Jacksons tone on the entire Empire CD---Flea w/RHCP Blood Sugar Sex Magic--- Anything by Geddy,esp.the earlier stuff.

 

[J.Wolf]

Gaslighting Abby by Steely Dan always makes me feel warm inside. I think Tom Barney played a Sting Ray 5 on that one.

Anything Anthony Jackson, especially Michel Camilo's Triangulo

Currently spinning Meshell Ndegeocello's Cookie, killer jazz bass tones

And of course.....man Paul Turner has killer feel

I think Mike Gordons tone on Inside in is pretty smokin too.

 

[ProfGumby]

Jeez, so many great bassists and so many fantastic sounds....

But lemmi take a whack at it.

Geddy Lee on the Rush In Rio live cd, that to me is THE Holy Grail of bass sound!


and there are so many more..

took me a while to find this, I had the vinyl version years ago, and have the CD now, but alas the vinyl is gone and so is the jewel case and liner...

Currently spinning Meshell Ndegeocello's Cookie, killer jazz bass tones

Oh man, that is THE jazz bass tone! That's got to be one of the funkiest albums I've ever heard.

There is a ton of great bass tones (and playing) on the original 'Jesus Christ Superstar' album (not the movie).

 

[rational baze]

Some of my favourites are:

John Paul Jones on House Of The Holy from Physical Graffitti

Roger Waters on Echoes on Live from Pompeii

Nicky Wire{manic street preachers} on Sleepflower,serious ric tone

 

[Rodriguez]

i said;

M Miller on Fat time, Miles Davis

Ruben Rodriguez

Anthony Jackson


all of Steely Dan & Donald Fagen!

Thanks Cachao is God... good looking out. Tell me what you herd that you liked? I'm looking for change and maybe all I need to do is go back to something I already did.

 

[Rob Martinez]

Tom Petersson on Cheap Trick's 1977 debut LP, CHEAP TRICK.

He played a Gibson Thunderbird and it sizzles!

 

[Harrypotter]

Whoever did the buisiness on Frankie Vallies 'The Night'

It's just about the most pumping bass line ever.

 

[TheVoiceless]

Felix Papparlardi with Mountain
Peter Cruickshank on Hogwash by The Groundhogs. Very wicked
Martin Turner on New England

just a few off the top of my head.

DUDE!!! Groundhogs!! My uncle gave me a tape 15 years ago with Areosmith and the Groundhogs on it. Yes great bass tone and crazy music. He also lived in OH. Are they local to Ohio, cause I had never heard of them before or after that. But really good music.

 

[LP75]

one of my favorites off the top of my head

Peter Gabriel - Sledge Hammer. Tony Levin on bass i believe.

I wonder if he was using those "finger sticks" on that one. It has a bouncy quality to it.

 

[LP75]

Spacehog: In The Meantime

 

[pedroims]

This is the perfect tone for me Does anybody how to get it?

 

[lomo]

Mike Visceglia on Suzanne Vega's albums. Also Macy Gray's first album (the one with the sexomatic hit). Don't recall the bass player on that.

 

[Mr. Mig]

It might seem obvious to say but gotta go with Jack Bruce on Sunshine of Your Love. Anything Jack did was great, but that was classic.

 

[bassyeah]

not sure if this is my "favorite" bass tone but I love John Paul Jones on Heartbreaker... the live version... i beleive from the BBC sessions.

 

[GerManson]

red barcheta - RUSH
freewill - RUSH

LOVE that tone..
and in fact that is how my main bass sound almost all the time...
