My earliest memory of noticing Bass dirt was the Temptations of all people -

Haha yeah it was probably the same for me. Proper GNARLY tone you would never get away with that these days.

On bass... The bassist I most associate with fuzz is Robert Sledge from Ben Folds Five. Probably the first track I was aware of having a fuzzed bass part was Beastie Boys' Sabotage.

I think MCA is still really underrated, he really shines on their instrumental tracks, even on the new album.

First bass fuzz I remember would have to be Black Sabbath N.I.B.
YouTube - ‪Black Sabbath - N.I.B. 1970 (High Quality)‬‏

I love Cliff and his judicious use of fuzz, but even Cliff gave it up for Geezer, the godfather of heavy metal bass fuzz.

Played myself:

First "fuzz bass" moment: Think For Yourself - Beatles

 

[My name is Mudd]

^^ My thoughts exactly.

 

[bigchiefbc]

Wow, you're all a lot older than me, if you started with "Think for yourself". That song came out 46 years ago!

Please don't remind us of how old we are

Hey...just 'cause it was released then doesn't necessarily mean that we all first heard it back then.
