My favourite bass player Mic Todd (formerly of Coheed and Cambria) could groove like hell. But they rocked - his lines rocked in that context. My cop-out answer without actually saying much. *shrugs*

Nice one, man! Will check it out soon

Has anyone mentioned Cemetary Gates? I'm a metal 'muggle' but love that riff.. Chunky

Like others have said, a load of isolated bass tones sound like crap (Ellefson's excepted IMO). Even some of Harris' old stuff sounds naff: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s04pKg8KFHo[/youtube] But still amazing within the band setting, right?

[quote name='chrismuzz' timestamp='1362877142' post='2005833'] Just out of interest, check out how ridiculously tight Dave Ellefson's playing is! [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8rN5N84lUFY[/media] [/quote] Amen. Ellefson is a beast!

[quote name='xilddx' timestamp='1362510464' post='2000544'] I'm assuming you are being serious because you've been a gobsh*te in the past on similar subjects, so I am happy to say that your pronouncement is absolute bollocks. [/quote] +1 I couldn't do it.

SHUBDIVISHUNS Oh, make it stop. Musically, I very much enjoyed it.

Sherane by Kendrick Lamar is stuck in my head currently. Lots of great bass work on that album.

Alternating between Afterman: Ascension and Descension by Coheed and Cambria.

Nice to see Jon Gallant getting some recognition - certainly underrated

I think davidsin is a really decent player but his plucking hand attack and general tone winds me up the wrong way - little obnoxious and sounds like a Flea clone. Like I say, that's not to disregard his ability - he is skilled.

I guess we're talking ELO here. Are we missing something? Some really tasteful playing by Jeff on the records. I agree with Silddx regarding listening and appreciating the song as a whole - that's a whole different type of satisfaction! Edit: Yes, I missed your first sentence. Cool tune.

As previously mentioned, Bernard Edwards (thereafter John Taylor) for use of ghost notes. Mic Todd (ex-Coheed) for note timing and placement.

[quote name='SlapbassSteve' timestamp='1358719002' post='1944112'] does indeed! I had the first album(particularly What You Know) in mind, very different tone, and very trebley compared to Sun and other recordings with a low-end-heavy tone, say Simonon on Guns Of Brixton. [/quote] Indeed. Loved the tone in both albums, to be honest.

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1358635974' post='1942748'] Nah, than was a step backwards. [JOKE] [/quote] Hope you have your coat in your hand

The Peace Sells album by Megadeth was 1/4 step down, wasn't it?

Run for your lives!

[quote name='mike257' timestamp='1357602390' post='1925375'] My favourite Coheed stuff is the album with Taylor Hawkins on it, think that's some of the best drumming he's put on record! Amazed that Tim Commerford/Brad Wilk have only had one mention, the first Rage Against The Machine album made me into a proper bass player! [/quote] Nice one. That's Good Apollo 2, right? Cool album but Good Apollo 1 is one of my favourite albums of all time - bass and the drums are perfect.

Singlecuts really don't do it for me.

Taylor Hawkins / Nate Mendel (Foo Fighters) Josh Eppard / Mic Todd (Old Coheed & Cambria)
