Mudpup Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 (edited) Agree with Eddie Jackson - anything from Empire or Mindcrime 1 Found this interesting below, listen to the quiet bit in the middle on a decent stereo [url="http://youtu.be/umObSCZlB-Y"]http://youtu.be/umObSCZlB-Y[/url] Edited September 22, 2011 by Mudpup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xilddx Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 As arrogant as this might sound (it's not meant to be though), my favourite bass tone is my own at the moment! 51m0n has mastered the Kit Richardson EP I'm on and I just adore my bass tones, there is some of Si's magic going on too, but boy, I love it so much that I am going back to Warwick basses. I'll post a link when the video's out in the next couple of weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is an three month old mix but it's louder, deeper and bigger in the mastered track.

thisnameistaken Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 Moloko - Fun For Me. I think it's a bass guitar - Mark Brydon is a bass player after all - but it just as easily might not be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet around 5 years this tone wasnt as popular, but Ive noticed a major shift, even from non-P players, to a more 'woody' old Fender P bass tone with flats. Granted, a lot of players on here etc have been doing it for years, but it seems to be stretching back into the high popularity stakes. Its good to know as long as you can play, you can get that tone with a decent P bass and flats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheddatom Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 I honestly am so arrogant that I think my bass tone is the best ever. Have a listen to this which is a recording of my old band re-recording our songs in April. There are mistakes etc but just listen to that tone!!
