most Angsty would be Lincoln from The White Octave

Offhand I can think of Richard Adams' tone in this particular song:

Daisy Chainsaw "Love Your Money"

 

[DEVILMAN]

I think Wetton's hefty, Hiwatt-distorted, grinding Precision tone would run over Joey Demaio's "guitarist" modified Ric tone like a Diesel-powered Combine

Matt Freeman's sound on Rancid - Album 5. I'd disagree with Fieldy having a very aggressive sound though. All clicking noises and sub bass, I don't find it at all heavy sounding, no sustain or growl or anything.

 

[Tim 'Funk' B]

My top 3 most-agressive electric bass tones in 'live music'

1: Rex Brown's monsterous Spector + SVT sound on any record from Far Beyond Driven to the last one...

2: Frank Bello's maximum grind on Anthrax's Among The Living... ****, you can hear this hi frequency p-bass zing on top of the guitars, so ****in cool

3: Dave Elefson's pure metal tone on Megadeth's Rust In Peace.So clear and loud.

--- Now go and put any record from jungle-drum'n'bass labels Metalheadz, Renegade Hardware or Full Cycle and get your ass kicked by the most agressive basses ever

Justin Pearson has had some pretty brain hurting tones, especially with Some Girls. Oh and Nate Newton from Converge. And Brian Stern from Look Back And Laugh sounds like he plays with angry bees (in a good way).

Rex Brown on Down II is what I want to sound like, its the tone I've been looking for.

I was waiting for someone to mention Nate Newton. That guy is an animal. I saw Converge and Some Girls play in NY last December, it was a helluva show.

Chris Debari of Today Is The Day has a pretty rip-your-face-off bass tone, I think he's using Mesa Triple Recs.

 

[The Lurker]

Rob Wright of Nomeansno.

 

[BassSurfer]

this is hard... i liked mike dirnts tone in the 90's espically on the insomniac record... then you have steve harris.. goes on and on

 

[DEVILMAN]

...nothing for nothing, I can't believe no one has mentioned Geezers tone, especially on "Born Again". Definetly grindy aggression. "Zero the Hero" crushes with anger bass...

~S~


PS: Also check out Blackie in Voi Vod, more serious anger/grind...

 

[Afrokid]

Tim Payne from Thursday, basically any song on Full Collapse has some of the most thick and aggressive warwick tone i've ever heard.

 

[DEVILMAN]

I'm gonna bump this worthless thread again & add a definetly insane angry bass with Godflesh & their bassist GC Green(IIRC). The tone & feel on "Street Cleaner" was unreal, especially for the time they did it. Total crushing industrial bass...

my $0.02

PS: Also check out Jesu...

 

[Pearldiver]

Liam Wilson on The Dillinger Escape Plan's Miss Machine
Jake Schultz on Norma Jean's O God the Aftermath

Just brutal aggressive tones on both, and both albums would have suffered if they had anything less.

 

[pj4553]

Ryan Martini on any song of of LD 50.
