WACOJACO Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 After listening to sabotage by the beastie boys and then exit music for a film by radiohead and loving the bass sound in both tunes to the point where i cant decide which one i prefer.. just wanted to gather some other fuzzy bass sound favourites from you guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmo Valdemar Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 Red by King Crimson. I cannot overstate what an awesome bass album this is. John Wetton's tone is monstrous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr M Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 Two I've always loved: The bass riff in Deeper Underground by Jamiroquai. (Unfortunately, I've no idea who the bassist is!) Marco Hietala's (of Nightwish) tone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiamPodmore Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 (edited) You Me At Six - Loverboy, and Rorys tone on Get Off My Microphone by Boomin (Listen to the teaser of Track 2 on [url="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Original-Junkie/dp/B008FRHZRG"]here[/url]). That album is full of phenomenal bass tones, plus myself (and about 10 or 12 others) doing the crowd vocals, and it's one of the few albums i've bought in a while that doesn't have a bad song.

risingson Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 Colin Greenwood used a Shin Ei Fuzz on 'Exit Music', Thom Yorke nicked it and used it later on 'The National Anthem' on Kid A as he was the one who ended up recording the bass part. I really love the tone on Lenny Kravitz's 'Rock and Roll Is Dead', it's a really throaty drive that gets used on the bass part and it sounds really cool. Also love Black Rebel Motorcycle Club's 'Spread Your Love', there's probably quite a few others!

thisnameistaken Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 Love Your Money - Daisy Chainsaw http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yaZWCGs7tFw I think it's just an overdriven tube head, but it sounds ace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Ah, so the sound on the record is actually a synth? Been a while since I've listened to it, but in that case I'm impressed by whoever played that synth. Not easy to imitate hammer-ons and slides on a keyboard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Aye, it was Toby Smith on keys at that stage still, very talented, also played synth bass on 'Canned Heat'. Fallings out were had with Stuart Zender and he left (or was chucked out of?) the band. The original bass parts are floating around out there, I got to hear them a couple of years ago I think but I can't remember what they were like.

funkypenguin Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 Jon Stockman, Karnivool's bass player has one of my favourite distorted sounds. He's also a damn good bass player, some great bass parts in Simple Boy http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cjvtx3HMUks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lowdowner Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 Cream - Sunshine of Your Love... just after the first 4 bars of intro. *really* fuzzy and distorted to the extent that it's not clear it's a bass! Nice though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cosmo Valdemar Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 Not a track from Red, but a bit of live Crimson that really shows off Wetton's amazing tone - and what an incredible band they were. [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0lGZQULq07I"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0lGZQULq07I[/url] Bass prominent at around 3:15. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
