For me "Abraham laboriels" tone on randy crawfords "you might need somebody" not 100% on what he used could be a fender P (he used to rent one i believe)or his goya panther maybe even a yamaha BB ( feel free to let me know if your 100% sure), it definately had flats on though, very warm and clear and the strings pops were nice and bright just lovely, totally diffrent to my sound, ive tried the p bass with flats thing and i love the sound on record but cant get into the sound coming out of my speakers

Tricky... My first impulse would be to pick one of Entwistle's, but if I'm going to have to use it for all time I don't think it would suit...

With that in mind, I will please take Eddie Jackson of Queensryche - his Spector tone on 'Empire' just knocks me out every time.
Does this mean he will get my tone in return? :)

Positively modern / cutting edge compared to me :)

[quote name='funkypenguin' post='1075780' date='Jan 2 2011, 09:40 PM']At the moment my sound is fairly close to Anthony Jacksons. If i had to change i would go for something close to Tony Grey (fodera not Yamaha)[/quote]

Are you using the gear in your signature to get that sound?

Yes, all EQ etc. bypassed on the bass (modded indie 606) and the amp. not using my effects in my signal chain atm. its fairly close, not exact

+1 yeah sorry to cheat and have two but will lee's "old" sound while he was using fenders he got a great sound with a jazz on randy crawfords "raw silk" and on the early spiro gyra stuff , he had a bit of flange on the go, just lovely oh and an honourable mention to Phil lynotts flanged P Bass on the" black rose" albun S&M pure class!!! guess i like the flange, big AJ fan too!!

Hi All

Really like this tone- JBlakk I think

[url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-8bceglPMt0"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-8bceglPMt0[/url]

Quite Low action - same bass as mine but 6 string- has a real bark about it.

At the mo` I sound just like this-

Bridge Pickup- bass boosted

Love then both- and many others

Getting it down to one tone would be tricky.

Either Herbie Flowers' classic Fender Jazz or Duck Dunn's P-bass tones would be where I'd like to end up, depending on what I was playing.

Alternatively, does anyone know who the bass player/set up used on the recent BBC drama 'Zen' might be? There was some nice playing in the incidental music, and for the first time in a long time the bass tone being used really made me sit up and pay attention.
