Nice and grunty but without that metallic zing of roundwounds. I recorded a couple of tunes with my band last week where I was going for a similar sort of sound, so I'm enjoying this one.

lee4 Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 Gerry McAvoy on A Million Miles Away by Rory Gallagher. Whoever played on Car Wheels on a Gravel Road by Lucinda Williams(the whole album,not just the title track). But the song that made me really want to play bass was Mary's Prayer by (I think)Danny Thompson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bass Doc Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 Whether or not you like Elton John check out the fretless sound on Nikita. (not to mention the rather tasty girl playing the part in the video..... "tasty girl?".... I told you not to mention it). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miles'tone Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 (edited) Speaking of BAD (as in good), here's Paul Jackson giving it some with Herbie's Headhunters. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mMcQfyuHVk8&feature=youtube_gdata_player As for the best tone I'VE ever had well that was using someone else's Ampeg rig at a gig I played at the old Barfly in Cardiff. Awesome amp, brilliant house PA with a cracking band mix through the monitors from a great sound engineer. I felt famous for the evening!

Roland Rock Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 (edited) [quote name='Pembo' timestamp='1370896304' post='2107196'] This is the album that made me wonder "What is that thick, thumpy, bendy tone?" when I was about 10. [/quote] Good call, beautiful tone and playing on the whole album, with bass notes like fat raindrops falling onto a dusty, arid landscape. I love the sort of muted/picked sound: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hVdWXqtk484 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MlHMpOypzFg Edited June 11, 2013 by Roland Rock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GuitarTart Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 I've recently bought a fretless and the sound/tone I would love to get is on Chris de Bergh's "Lady in Red". Not by any means my favourite artist or song but the bass line just does it for me. If I believed in the concept of guilty pleasure, this would be mine.
