Let's talk about something that every bassplayer is constantly chasing: the ideal sound and post examples of people who are getting really close to having the ideal sound.
Les Claypool "The Awakening"
I love the growl he's getting from his medium scale Thompson bass, it has that typical EMG clarity but with a ragged edge. I love his tone.
The Comodores "Brick house"
LOVE that filthy P-bass sound on this one, the P-bass might not be the most glamerous bass but it sure gets the job done if you need low end without much hassle.
Stray Cats "Double talking baby"
Lee Rocker is a badass rockabilly slapper but when he plays fingerstyle he gets such a beautiful blooming sound going from his bass.
