Love the Jar of Flies E.P by Alice in Chains, especially "Rotten Apple",great tone from Mike Inez, who also has a great metal/rock tone on Ozzy's No More Tears....IMO....

Hope this link works.....

Depends so much on so many factors for me but a few that really stand out -

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xYhfH59OLC8 - Tone is excellent to me but I do wish it was a little higher in the mix at certain points

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HBsZbL-Akms - The whole mix of this song just stands out to me as everything being perfectly in its place and allowing the whole track to breathe and when the bass kicks in (without the whammy pedal on) it's like a kick in the chest on a good system.

not a tone i play with personally but in the big bass scheme of things this little Eddie Offord production has got to be up there in the top ten

Guys thanks for the replies!!


Its cool how we all have our own opinions- I've just listened through all of your ideal bass tone tracks and have to say that none of them jump out at me personally, except the track linked by kennyrodgers! Kenny- wonderful Jazz tone, has that certain tubbiness about it!

Another one for Mark Hoppus. I've always loved his tone.
Other favourites for me are Ben Ellis from Serafin, especially on Day By Day. '58 Fender Precision though an old Fender Bassman...

Also JC from Danko Jones on Legs. Fender Precision Special through an Ampeg V4B with everything on full...

Just too many to mention (or remember! :blush: ) but I'm really into Phil Lynott's tone at the moment, and this is (to me) a perfect example:

I'm not really much of a Jaco fan per se but I always like the way his tone/style fits into the material on Joni's albums, especially Hejira. Great example of 'serving the song' which is at the heart of a good bass performance.
