Bassists - Great Tone

[Hamsta]

The Prince live set “The Undertaker “ has Sonny Thompson on a Warwick Bass in a blues trio setting. Worth a look for the Warwick fans... I can’t remember if it’s a Corvette or a Dolphin.

Definitely a ‘Vette. ;o)

Of course Prince liked to tutū around on the odd Warwick too…

Pete Trewavas instantly comes to mind, always interesting without ever overplaying. Always seems to have a nice smooth tone and he seems to like alternating between playing with a pick or fingers

Mike Starr on AIC Dirt album.
Spector/Ampeg= pure win.

Nikki Sixx on Dr Feelgood.
Unapologetically massive rock tone.

More Wine Waiter Please from The Poor.

Chris Wyse on The Cult’s “Choice of Weapon”

Good Rock tone. Cool album actually

I really dig John Paul Jone’s tone on the outro of Spinning in Daffodils.

I like Led Zeppelin II. A lot of cool bass lines

However after finding out about some of Jimmy Page’s behaviors I can’t bring myself to listen to them consciously

Spinning in Daffodils is by Them Crooked Vultures, so Page-free if you want to listen to it.

Marcus Miller
Both his Fender Jazz Bass brightness and his Modulus Graphite Fretless
“Twin Gemini’s” is superb

On this clip of Mmmm you can see his bass at about 2:19 - Warwick? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GkxlAIcq54E
Look like really fat strings, but that might be just an illusion with poor quality clip.

Definitely looks like a Warwick aye.

Definitely a Warwick - headstock & 2-piece bridge give it away.
Probably a Streamer LX - bolt-on neck & reverse configuration P-pickup.

A bit like this one actually… https://www.trademe.co.nz/music-instrum ... 750906.htm
