Your Favourite Jazz Bass Tone/Player?

[Billsals]

Gail Ann Dorsey sounds great in this clip, vintage Jazz with flats through an SVT and a killer groove!!

... instead of burp, it's just an exquisite little edge. I think Jadan Ogrin, in the clip above, is a great example.

Pardon me.
When that edge is *that* clear, it might not be just a mixing in of bridge pickup; there could be a resonant or otherwise high Q filter involved.
For example, New Religion (John Taylor, Duran Duran), which was played on a one-pickup Aria SB (which one poster said had a filter-type preamp).

Yeah, Jadan Ogrin sounds great, regardless. Thanks @Sparkl.

Bobby is so dialed in on the secrets of the Fender Jazz Bass.

Holy cow what a great vid.

With two pickups on, some frequencies get cancelled, and some get reinforced.

I realised now why I am P-bass guy.

Checked all posts here, and noted, that I do not have any JB sound, that I like. I like many PLAYERS, which plays on JB, but not their JB-specific tone.

And with P bass, I can enjoy a tone from many players.

PS sorry for off topic

Im very much on the pbass boat too. Its all i own (along with some gibsons, rics, & custom builds), i can enjoy a player with a jazz bass & their tone. But doesnt make me seek a jazz bass for its tone. XD

Tomohito Aoki on the Fender Jazz, and later the Atelier Z. Solo stuff, Toshiki Kadomatsu, DIMENSION!

John Paul Jones, when he used flats.

Which albums/tracks were flats?

also, for a different Jazz flavor Family Man

That George Duke Trio clip is awesome and love that bass tone.

Zep 1 and 2

 

[bassman818]

Jacos fretless sound works

Who could disagree with this!

For me, the ultimate is Jaco on Pat Metheny's Bright Size Life album. The word I would use for that sound is "ravishing."

Thanks for improving my tone. I love a Jaco tone, and I'm going to try to model after this one. It's so...spunky! Thanks for making me relisten and realize how great these songs are as well.

 

[Jaco Pastashoot]

The most incredible sound with a Jazz bass is the Jaco, Jeff Andrews, Jeff Berlin bebop soloing tone

But Jpj, Geddy, Marcus, Bobby, Will Lee have the right tone too

Jazz bass is the ultimate 4 strings bass

Actually all the albums he used the Jazz Bass. He used the roundwounds on the '52 Precision and the Alembics.
