Bassists - Great Tone
1. Jerry Jemmott
Just a fantastic Jazz Bass Tone coupled with a righteous feel
2. Kim Deal
Plectrum yes but always sounded quite Round not brittle.
3. Robert De Leo
Rock with some grind. But not to much. He also has very good feel.
4. Johnny Colt
A supporting musician who sounds great. Quite a smooth tone which sits nicely with 2 loutish guitars. Probably flatwounds on everything.
Who are some of your favorites?

Re: Bassists - Great Tone
I've always loved Colin Greenwood's song-carrying tones, but especially the more recent 73 P Bass + Ashdown or Ampeg rig.
Chester Hansen of Badbadnotgood is another hero of mine. Round, fat, thumpy Gibson bass tones.
Tom Shanahan of Mildlife is also a source of glorious, rich bass tones. I think he's another P bass/Ampeg guy.

Re: Bassists - Great Tone
I haven’t heard of 2 of those so a good start to this thread thanks
My eldest son has played me some Radiohead which I really like in fact I was surprised how much so, the album is called “In Rainbows” ...possibly(?)

Dave Pomeroy - Fretless Bass on David Munyon's Code Name: Jumper album. Such a cool sound. Great songs and an excellent band including Warren Haynes (Allman Brothers Band, Gov't Mule) on guitar.

Re: Bassists - Great Tone
In Rainbows is my favourite album of all time, without a single doubt. I listen to it every week and have done ever since it came out. 'Weird Fishes' has one of the most beautiful basslines ever constructed, and I am still hearing new layers to all of the other songs on it.

Allen Woody - Gov't Mule and Allman Brothers Band. His intro to Don't Step on the Grass, Sam from the Live at Roseland cd is fabulous.

Andy Rourke
Great P Bass tone and lovely lines.
Mick Karn
Loved his very off the wall style. And the fretless Wal.... just wow.
John Stirratt (Wilco)
Can't fault anything he does...
Bernard Edwards
Stingray with flats and a master of the groove.

Re: Bassists - Great Tone
Still in the process with insurance (the other guys mostly), but we've moved out from that location and have a temporary rehearsal space now. Shame about the old space, but when the rains came back it flooded again, so it was no longer an option unfortunately.

This is such an epic album, have you seen the "In the basement" video of them playing this album? its even better than the original!hercules wrote: ↑Wed Jun 07, 2023 11:01 pm In Rainbows is my favourite album of all time, without a single doubt.

Re: Bassists - Great Tone
So many times. It's the only album where I've learnt all of the bass, guitar and some of the piano stuff too.jeremyb wrote: ↑Thu Jun 08, 2023 9:42 amThis is such an epic album, have you seen the "In the basement" video of them playing this album? its even better than the original!hercules wrote: ↑Wed Jun 07, 2023 11:01 pm In Rainbows is my favourite album of all time, without a single doubt.

Re: Bassists - Great Tone
Bassists with great tone, I'd have to say Chris Wolstenholme from Muse, Cliff Burton, Fieldy from Korn, Maurice from Jakob, I could go on and on...
