Do we actually know what JE was after when he bought a new bass?

 

Your bass next, I think.  He was on a mission to own *all* the basses in the world after all...

How a particular bass sounds in the mix may actually not differ that much but, equally, there's an unmistakable signature sound to some of the greats eg John Entwistle.

Agreed. I think Simon Gallup has played pretty much every bass there is at various times, particularly live and he always just sounds like Simon Gallup.

Entwistle spent years and a fortune on hundreds of bases and never sounded any different. 

Yes, but in a good way.

 

To be fair, I don't think John Entwistle was searching for the perfect tone when he was amassing his bass collection. He just liked buying stuff.
