Nicko Posted March 17, 2017 Posted March 17, 2017 ....by posting someone elses. Mine is very similar to this [url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EqWRaAF6_WY"]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EqWRaAF6_WY[/url] Quote
Conan Posted March 17, 2017 Posted March 17, 2017 I'm not sure I really have a "tone". I change the sound to suit whatever band and/or song I am working with at the time. Generally though, Fender (or similar) Jazz bass with both pickups, and tone, on full. Amp settings fairly flat or with a boost to the mids. Very little distortion/crunch/grind (call it what you will!). I can't actually think of anyone else with a similar core tone. I'll give it some thought though... Maybe Jonas Reingold... Quote
Graham Posted March 17, 2017 Posted March 17, 2017 This is pretty much what I'm going for http://youtu.be/nVCMLWtVN5E Quote
markstuk Posted March 17, 2017 Posted March 17, 2017 I'm not sure how to describe it, but it's something like Eric Czars when playing for JB.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aWx-3fiG7mk Quote
Lozz196 Posted March 17, 2017 Posted March 17, 2017 Aggressive, punchy, twangy and hard-hitting. Pretty much the opposite of me as a person in fact. My tone/sound is somewhere between JJ Burnell, Duff McKagan, Bruce Foxton and Lemmy. Quote
Roger2611 Posted March 17, 2017 Posted March 17, 2017 Foxton meets Hooky with a bit of Pino thrown in if I am playing fretless (well I would like to think I sound like Pino!) Quote
Harryburke14 Posted March 17, 2017 Posted March 17, 2017 (edited) Hot, bright and loud. All the things it should be. Edited March 17, 2017 by Harryburke14 Quote
NancyJohnson Posted March 17, 2017 Posted March 17, 2017 A gnarly mux of Geddy Lee, dUg and JJ Burnell. Quote
markdavid Posted March 17, 2017 Posted March 17, 2017 (edited) In development ...............constantly Seriously though, it was kind of aggressive, gnarly etc but my current band have said that my sound needs more low end, I can kind of see why they would say that as we are playing cream/hendrix/stones kind of stuff, now it is kind of dark-ish, bass and low mid heavy Edited March 17, 2017 by markdavid Quote
Cato Posted March 17, 2017 Posted March 17, 2017 (edited) I generally aim for something like this. http://youtu.be/MVTkbCCl3-I As someone who started out with mainly metal, then indie influences, Stuart Zender's work with Jamiroquai really made rethink the instrument and how it could be played. I still think he has one of the best tones ever. Edited March 17, 2017 by Cato Quote
joeystrange Posted March 17, 2017 Posted March 17, 2017 (edited) Either something like this http://youtu.be/rzJ21OpFnZ0 Or something like this http://youtu.be/8C8CWX2KfMc Depends what day it is. Edited March 17, 2017 by joeystrange Quote
dmccombe7 Posted March 17, 2017 Posted March 17, 2017 (edited) Preferred sound is cross between Geddy Lee and Glenn Hughes (Deep Purple era) with fingerstyle (no plectrum tho) Current sound for covers band is somewhere between or like these using a Fender PJ.

SH73 Posted March 17, 2017 Posted March 17, 2017 I like them flat, fat, growly with a bit of distortion, bright and mid. Depends what I play. Quote
