Warm Fuzzy Old Fashioned Bass Sound

Gosh, JPJ is rather good isn't he?

 

[Happy Jack]

You can almost hear the foam under the strings ...

Glorious

Wow that's a great sound and awesome playing

[Beedster]

I am going to talk to my band mates about that very song

This is useful we are going to do this at our next gig.

Not the kind of fuzzy I was expecting, but very nice nonetheless

Maybe musty rather than fuzzy. A bit fousty. Not clinical like a modern bass sound.

Love listening to isolated bass. 

1. Because you really get to hear the intricacies of the player.

2. You get a sense of how tones etc then work in a mix. 

3. Makes me feel better about my bass playing, as plenty of great players still sounded a bit rough solo and made plenty of string/fret noise, overtones etc. But sound fantastic in the mix.

Completely agree. Isolated a lot of tracks sound rough - pretty uninspiring, clanky, and loose, but they really sound awesome I'm the mix.

I mean, there's always discussion on getting a super sound on here, and what head and can to use, but who here would class that tone on there as fantastic and just what they want to sound like? Not many. Yet in the mix it's outstanding.

Fantastic - nice post. That whole album's a real bass treat. There's that fuzzy malarky on Heartbreaker as well. Tidy keyboard/organ player too.
