Maybe his hearing is going, but I haven't seen a recent video clip where his Kingbass sounds good, the audio always makes it sound really thin. I do prefer his 80's sound, but I also love the sound of the Alembic on the Guaranteed Live video.

Yes, the Guaranteed video was the pinnacle of his bass tone imo. A Kingbass badly (or un-)amplified can sound really bad, very plasticky. I don't like TC Electronic (sterile) amps either, in general. The Live at Reading tone was pretty good, though.
