I love that bass sound, although I think I prefer the album sound slightly more.

My favourites include:

[quote name='Mecklenburg' post='583534' date='Aug 28 2009, 01:36 PM']Agree on the Bass in Jug Full of Sun!

Another Doom fan here, saw Saint Vitus at Hellfest this year, even met Dave Chandler whilst watching Orange Goblin! :rolleyes: I didn't think I would ever see them play live, never mind meet some of the band![/quote]
Yeah, I've seen footage of that on youtube. Love Vitus, especially their song "Dying Inside". Wino's vocals were awesome in Vitus. I've been lucky enough to meet Wino a couple of times. Really cool guy, and signed some stuff for me. Very intense dude though! Met him, Sherman, and Gary Isom when Spirit Caravan were over here promoting "Elusive Truth"

Always cool to meet your heros, especially when they turn out to be good guys :)

Nastiness is underrated.

Slightly more recent nastiness:

Ah, Rog. What a sound that is. Near to my ideal. Of course Les isn't bad either.

(think my mind usually blows around 1m37)

and this

[url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fxKBnR_8LIM"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fxKBnR_8LIM[/url]

and this (in fact is this the best live performance of any song ever by any band?)

[url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T92py7wxcD4"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T92py7wxcD4[/url]

and maybe this (prefer the studio version...)

[url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a0edgQvX_MI"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a0edgQvX_MI[/url]

and of course this...

hell this too!

[url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KI2INBQVpwk"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KI2INBQVpwk[/url]

and where would the world be without this?

[url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qj0KeBxLy9Y"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qj0KeBxLy9Y[/url]

And i'd feel guilty for ever if this was left out... (from 2m18 you should probably be sitting comfortably...)

[url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d3VMV4Tk8Lw"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d3VMV4Tk8Lw[/url]

and any way back to my original point which was something to do with...

[url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ys6ZOT_eCdM"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ys6ZOT_eCdM[/url]

Most of my choices have already been mentioned but here's a couple:

Doug Wimbish on Living Colour's Stain album, especially on Wall
Melvin Gibb's overdrive sound on The Rollin's Band's On The Way To The Cage- fantastic
Timmy C's tone on Audioslave's Exploder

[quote name='The Funk' post='578722' date='Aug 24 2009, 01:43 AM']Fingerstyle - Lenny Kravtiz's bass sound on the whole [i]Mama Said[/i] album, especially [i]Always On The Run[/i] and [i]It Ain't Over 'Til It's Over[/i].[/quote]

That is a great shout! What a fantastic tone he has on there.
