JimBobTTD Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 I play in a rock/pop covers band [b]and [/b]a thrash covers band...I think I could pull off both bands with Cliff Burton's tone on [i]Master of Puppets[/i]. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Academy Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 For fingerstyle it would have to be Bernard Edwards, without a doubt. For slap, Marcus Miller. As I only have one choice I would have to go for Marcus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lee650 Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 For me "Abraham laboriels" tone on randy crawfords "you might need somebody" not 100% on what he used could be a fender P (he used to rent one i believe)or his goya panther maybe even a yamaha BB ( feel free to let me know if your 100% sure), it definately had flats on though, very warm and clear and the strings pops were nice and bright just lovely, totally diffrent to my sound, ive tried the p bass with flats thing and i love the sound on record but cant get into the sound coming out of my speakers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cosmo Valdemar Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 Tricky... My first impulse would be to pick one of Entwistle's, but if I'm going to have to use it for all time I don't think it would suit... With that in mind, I will please take Eddie Jackson of Queensryche - his Spector tone on 'Empire' just knocks me out every time. Does this mean he will get my tone in return?

Ou7shined Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 There's an honky honesty in Geezer Butler's early tone that I love, which could never fit in in any modern setting but seeing as we're playing the "if" game... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

funkypenguin Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 At the moment my sound is fairly close to Anthony Jacksons. If i had to change i would go for something close to Tony Grey (fodera not Yamaha) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinterMute Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 Geddy Lee circa Permanent Waves/Moving Pictures. Even his modern tone would do to be honest, but I grew up in the shadow of that awesome growl, and I'd love to sound like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doddy Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 As much as I love Marcus' tone,I'd have to go with Will Lee's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon. Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Getting it down to one tone would be tricky. Either Herbie Flowers' classic Fender Jazz or Duck Dunn's P-bass tones would be where I'd like to end up, depending on what I was playing. Alternatively, does anyone know who the bass player/set up used on the recent BBC drama 'Zen' might be? There was some nice playing in the incidental music, and for the first time in a long time the bass tone being used really made me sit up and pay attention.

bartelby Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 So it's tone that's different to you're own? Would have to be Justin Chancellor's, do I get all his equipment too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
