ambient Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 This, fantastic fretless tone. Possibly not to everyone else's liking maybe.

Cameronj279 Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Depends so much on so many factors for me but a few that really stand out - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xYhfH59OLC8 - Tone is excellent to me but I do wish it was a little higher in the mix at certain points http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dh4YRHTJLAs http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HBsZbL-Akms - The whole mix of this song just stands out to me as everything being perfectly in its place and allowing the whole track to breathe and when the bass kicks in (without the whammy pedal on) it's like a kick in the chest on a good system.

spongebob Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Without a doubt, the whole of 'Black And White' by The Stranglers. In fact, pretty much anything from JJ 77-82. 'Your Smiling Face' by James Taylor, Leland Sklar on bass. Love it! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xIWSXGaJQ-A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve-bbb Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 (edited) not a tone i play with personally but in the big bass scheme of things this little Eddie Offord production has got to be up there in the top ten [media]http://youtu.be/51oPKLSuyQY[/media] oh and this little bit of production loveliness from Trevor Horn too [url="http://youtu.be/vzxZzIiO84Y"]http://youtu.be/vzxZzIiO84Y[/url] Edited February 1, 2015 by steve-bbb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul_5 Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 I've always rated Frank Bello's tone on 'Got The Time' by Anthrax, http://youtu.be/be7iNHw8QoQ and John Giblin's sound on Fish's 'Vigil In A Wilderness Of Mirrors' album. http://youtu.be/WoSOJhN7DMU Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesBass Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 John Entwistle live at Leeds! Pino always has an exceptional tone on everything he does James Jamerson is always someone I aspire to sound similar too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger2611 Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 I have always loved the bass sound on Killing Joke's "Love Like Blood" when mixed with the stunning bass / snare combination on the drums it made for a memorable sound which I think still stands up today http://youtu.be/6NPSNFsZWzs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HMX Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 The latest (and only?) Haim album has some killer bass playing a lovely precision tone to boot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_b Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 What about the bass tone (and playing) on Mark Ronson's Uptown Funk. Punchy, in your face, growly. . . . love it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kendall Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 I always loved the tone that Jamie Stewart had on the Cult's Love album. Sanctuary, Rain, Hollow Man, Phoenix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowendgalore Posted February 2, 2015 Author Share Posted February 2, 2015 Guys thanks for the replies!! Its cool how we all have our own opinions- I've just listened through all of your ideal bass tone tracks and have to say that none of them jump out at me personally, except the track linked by kennyrodgers! Kenny- wonderful Jazz tone, has that certain tubbiness about it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil147 Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 Rolo Tomassi-Jo Thorpe. Kasia has especially killer tone http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qkH0Yoj9fsc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatwull Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 (edited) When i was starting out learning bass this was one of the sounds that made me love the bass, especially around 03:40 for the bass and sax solo.

joeystrange Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 Another one for Mark Hoppus. I've always loved his tone. Other favourites for me are Ben Ellis from Serafin, especially on Day By Day. '58 Fender Precision though an old Fender Bassman... http://youtu.be/KQk8c-GYGO8 Also JC from Danko Jones on Legs. Fender Precision Special through an Ampeg V4B with everything on full... http://youtu.be/rvOtTkm0QHQ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danbowskill Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 It has to be Timmy C's tone on the 1st rage Against the machines album.. It cuts like a boss :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conan Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 Just too many to mention (or remember! ) but I'm really into Phil Lynott's tone at the moment, and this is (to me) a perfect example: [url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TqRJtUorPMg"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TqRJtUorPMg[/url] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiceSociety Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 I like this one from Bootsy, one of the filthiest, and wet sounding bass tones out there. Probably. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BH41GWzUr8M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevB Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 I'm not really much of a Jaco fan per se but I always like the way his tone/style fits into the material on Joni's albums, especially Hejira. Great example of 'serving the song' which is at the heart of a good bass performance.

grunge666 Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 I love Melissa Auf der Maur's tone on Celebrity Skin by Hole. I think it's just a Precision through a cranked SVT but, it kicks arse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bilbo Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 Jaco, everytime. Donna Lee Continuum Portrait of Tracy Kuru Suite; Golden Dawn (Al Di Meola) A Remark You made Teen Town Havona Palladium Young And Fine Night Passage Las Olas (Flora Purim) Its not just the noise, it's the definition.
