has anyone heard No doubt????

Im big fan of ska, punk and jazz music. Lastly ive been playing some of the no doubts songs, but im a fingerplayer who plays a fender jazz that needs some advice getting that fatty/growly tone characteristic of no doubts bassist with my jazz. That guy usualy plays a yamaha bb and a MM-S5

Using a pick its not a solution, thx.

A p pickup, and a good recording engineer, and a big budget would help TONS.

Tony Kinal is a good bass player, IMO. I love his rework of "It's my life"...I love playing that little pre-chorus riff. It's fun.

Tony's recorded tones are sweet--warm, fat passive p-bass tones from the yamaha and in-your-face active grit from his music man basses.

In one of the several studios where rock steady was recorded Tony got some of his gritty tones from a Bass POD 'mystery setting' that he said he has yet to replicate live (in a BP interview back at the time of 'rock steady's release). I saw him live in Portland on that tour and his rig had two rackmount bass PODs in addition to a 50 key midi controller and analog synth module for the keyboard bass synth parts.

In general, I'd say dig in hard and mess with some effects and you'd get close to some of what Tony does. The slap stuff on the debut disc is another story...

P.S. this would do better in the 'bassists' or 'recordings' categories.
