[crucislancer]

Geddy Lee - Love his tone on just about anything, but I really dig his tone on My Favorite Headache
Robert DeLeo - His tone tends to shift with each song since he uses so many different basses in the studio, but "Tiny Music......" is my favorite for his tone.
John Paul Jones - Led Zeppelin II

 

[toddsterbassist]

Geddy on "limelight"
Sheehan with mr. Big on "big love"
Pinnick with kings x on "we are finding who we are" and "pretend"

 

[RobBottom69]

1. Geddy Lee on Moving Pictures

Geddy on The Camera Eye, especially during the guitar solo, on Countdown, and on Digital Man.

Doug Pinnick on a number of songs. The bass is so full-sounding.
