rapscallion Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 Timmy C on Evil Empire Brian Gibson on Colossus http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ybrTlJOOBas Bottlenose Dolphins, a drums and bass duo. The bassists tone is really grindy. Check out Magic Bullets to get a sense http://www.myspace.com/bottlenosedolphins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bo0tsy Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 A bit obscure but one of my fav's (+1 for Beastie Boys too) [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yW6YkK00QQ8&feature=player_detailpage[/media] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beer of the Bass Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 I love the fuzz bass on the Monks "Black Monk Time". I've no idea whether it's a fuzz pedal or a blown speaker, or perhaps both. This song is a minute and a half of almost completely inane 60s pop, but the intensity of the performance, plus the fuzz bass and banjo make it fantastic!

musophilr Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 Jack Bruce, live with Cream. Someone mentioned Felix Pappalardi, so that would mean Mountain, and I could go along with that too. Got to say that most of the time I like it clean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmo Valdemar Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 [quote name='Chris2112' timestamp='1348597590' post='1815808'] I love the overdriven crunch of Geddy Lee's tone. [i]Hemispheres[/i] is great for that. [/quote] Hemispheres is actually very clean, for Geddy. It's really just the natural sound of a Rick being played very hard.

Big_Stu Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 My fave bass tone? This one since the first night I heard it in '78 ............. FF to 2:16 A John Birch custom EB3, with two of the loudest output pickups made at that time thru' an on-board overdrive built by JayDee. Having a 5000+ watt PA style backline, just for his bass probably nudged it along a bit though. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T13cc1DpF7g Loved it so much I got John to build me one too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doddy Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 I really like Robert Sledge's distorted sound with Ben Folds Five. Rhonda Smith had a cool distortion sound with Prince that she used sparingly. Bryan Beller has a nice two stage overdrive/distortion tone.

WACOJACO Posted September 27, 2012 Author Share Posted September 27, 2012 Long Red by Mountain live is....

pst62 Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 Not really a fan of effects but I do like this! (surprised it's not been posted already) Great bass player!

EliasMooseblaster Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 I'm going to be incredibly cheeky and proffer one of my own: http://cherrywhite.bandcamp.com/track/dont-hold-me-back Not the sound I had in mind when we went into the studio. I thought "a bit of grit" would work quite nicely...but after playing around with a few different amps, the engineer pulled a ProCo Rat out of a cupboard and put that between my T-bird and some massive Hughes & Kettner valve head, and so we ended up with what can only be described as pure filth.

JamesBass Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 I raise you John Entwistle, Live at Leeds! That for me is an incredible tone. I also raise you Chris Steele from Alexisonfire, who is HUGELY underrated, his lines are amazing and technical while simple. Also Joe Principe of Rise Against, another underrated bass player with some incredible lines and one hell of a tone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thisnameistaken Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 I'm not going back on my previous Daisy Chainsaw recommendation but Robert Sledge from Ben Folds Five has been expertly fuzzing up his bass since the mid '90s. Here he is doing it most recently, but probably still with one or two green Sovtek Big Muffs. This guy doesn't get nearly enough credit as a bassist. He plays upright and synth bass too. And sings harmony live. He's just bossing it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F7E_mIgD_6w Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skybone Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 Lemmy of course, driven Marshall Super Bass 100's... Vaguely remember hearing some excellent fuzz bass playing on a number of Dub Syndicate records, though can't remember who played on them (or what the albums were called!). Seem to recall a superb driven bass sound on the ISIS album "Celestial", obviously they turned the SVT up full blast, you can just hear those valves glowing. I remember shopping for a distortion/fuzz pedal in the late 80's, and getting some disparaging looks & comments from the obviously shred guitar/hair "metal" worshipping salesmen when I said I played bass... Music shops these days just aren't what they used to be... with their friendly, inclusive and helpful manners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shockwave Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 If I may be so bold. https://soundcloud.com/chinspinner/oubliette My own tone on this track. It's very gritty but not over the top. Gibson Grabber to VT Bass Deluxe. Also Young Widows - Old Skin. Gibson RD, Rat LM308, SS Ampegs. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dgdv5JVJhHY&safe=active Defeater - The Red White and blues. Bloody upfront and nasty. Sits well in the mix. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wEFkTfGy7CQ&list=PL04Nhx1FVdTRwmKwdgs4BFC6msu1sjnSE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
