Who do you think has the perfect tone?

I like Peter Ceteras early Chicago tones and John Entwistles L@L and Quadrophenia tone.

Anthony Jackson - all eras
JACK CASADY during Airplane and Tuna
Phil Lesh- '69-72, '77
Tina Weymouth
John Pattitucci - the Smith a bit more than the Yammy
Larry Taylor
Steve Swallow
Bill Laswell
Chris Squire - '70s

DD Verni from Overkill has one of my favorite tones.

 

[NOT]

Hmmm... Here are a few tones that have shaped my sound.

Tom Petersson - Cheap Trick
Duff McKagan - GN'R
Nikki Sixx - Motley Crue (Not so much his tone now but, his tone on Too Fast, Girls Girls Girls, and Dr. Feelgood is fantastic.)
Gene Simmons - KISS

Totally personal opinion of course but I like:
Dug Pinnick's tone on Dogman (and live)
Justin Chancellor
Eddie Jackson (Empire)
John Paul Johns (Led Zep II)
Steely Dan stuff (Aja probably favorite-Chuck Rainey)
Chris Squire
John Entwistle (Live at Leeds)
and Pino Palladino's fretless stuff with Don Henley.

of course Jaco and Jamer Jamerson go without saying as well.
