MacDaddy Posted September 9, 2016 Posted September 9, 2016 [quote name='PaulWarning' timestamp='1473446493' post='3130379'] J J Burnel, loved the tone on the early Stranglers stuff but can't imagine using it on anything else other than Stranglers covers. [/quote] Similar to Lemmy. Astounding bass sound, but useless unless you are playing Motorhead covers. Quote
dlloyd Posted September 9, 2016 Posted September 9, 2016 Joe Osborne. I love the tone he gets on everything he did but I would never think to use a jazz bass strung with flats played with a plectrum... [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hJGSHMgbB0E[/media] hmm... To my right there's a Fender Jazz... in front of me there's a set of LaBella deep talking flats and there's a pick in my pocket... Quote
SICbass Posted September 9, 2016 Posted September 9, 2016 hmmmm.....something of a cliffhanger ending to that last post.... Quote
Norris Posted September 9, 2016 Posted September 9, 2016 Mike Rutherford. Some of the sounds he gets on the early Genesis stuff are sublime but not suitable for filling out the bottom end of a guitar/bass/drums covers trio Quote
Bilbo Posted September 11, 2016 Posted September 11, 2016 Squire and Martin Brierly (Greenslade - Cactus Choir) both have great growly Rickenbacker sounds that I love in context but would not seek to mimic. Percy Jones, Jimmy Johnson, Anthony Jackson and a hundred Fodera players all have great 'don't go there' tones. Quote
Painy Posted September 11, 2016 Author Posted September 11, 2016 [quote name='Bilbo' timestamp='1473591020' post='3131382'] Percy Jones, Jimmy Johnson, Anthony Jackson and a hundred Fodera players all have great 'don't go there' tones. [/quote] That's another good example for me too with the typical Fodera sound. I think Janek Gwizdala for example, has a beautifully pure tone which is perfect for the kind of melodic solo playing he often does but it would be completely lost and out of place in my rock covers band.

MattM Posted September 11, 2016 Posted September 11, 2016 JJ Burnell - love it in the context of the Stranglers but would never work for anything I've ever done. Oh, and the bridge pickup on a jazz, period. Like a goose farting in the fog as Billy Connoly once said Quote
lojo Posted September 12, 2016 Posted September 12, 2016 I love Double Bass live and recorded , but dont believe I'll ever have the time to learn something different and new Quote
kusee pee Posted September 12, 2016 Posted September 12, 2016 Barry Adamson with magazine. Particularly this: https://youtu.be/TFVrEJR2jN4 Great tone and playing, cool song too. Never have had the need to try and replicate but love the sound. Quote

Yet I have definitely moved in that direction as time has passed. But on a Precision. And except the pick. Can't use one... Edited September 12, 2016 by Telebass Quote
