Sublime playing from Tal ...
Remember, it's easier to criticise than create!
Mikey Dread, "Israel (12 Tribe) Style"
Unfortunately I can't find live versions of all these but they're some of my favourite bass sounds. Really like all the songs too. In no order.
Buffalo Tom, forgot how much I like this, from their Birdbrain album-
Probably a Precision & an Ampeg.
Dead Meadow, great band, but you can't always hear the bass as well as this. Also think Jason Simon (guitar) is one of the best Wah players I ever heard, a lot of the time I can't stand it.
You can see what it is...makes a change from all the Precisions in the post- which is unintentional, but probably a testament to their success; the Ford Mustang, Toyota Corolla of basses.
The Screaming Blue Messiahs, "Holiday Head"-
Chris Thompson sometimes sounded better still, but you can hear the bass really well right through this. Almost definitely another Precision not sure about the amp.
Couldn't let it go without more JJ Burnel. Couldn't find a decent live vid of Nice N' Sleazy that didn't have strippers, (yawn), don't like, so chose this instead.
Almost definitely a Precision & I'd guess the Hiwatt lead head.
Thanks. They were/are pretty loud. To me bass sounds are before & after JJ Burnel, he completely redefined it for me. Last time we had this thread, in the "other place", I posted a boring anecdote about the first time I heard Peaches on the radio, one of those slack jawed moments of amazement- of the very rare good sort.
Oh & I forgot to post this, which pretty much always makes me smile** (not easy). In some contrast to the others.
Nick Lowe- Awesome.
Think its a Hamer 8 string, no idea about the amp.
** the song, rather than the vid.
I'd vote for just about anything by Lee Sklar, whichever of Sly & Robbie is the bass player, and Jeff Berlin on the Bill Bruford EllPees. And Jimmy Johnson on the James Taylor recordings.
Seriously: If you value it, take/fetch it yourself

Lovely tune in it's own right, and a marvel of bass playing/ technique/ technology come together for a bit of nice
Fast-forward to 02:40 to miss out the tuning up and chat.
Hey, is that Chris Cornell doing vocals on that Winery Dogs song?
Here's a few of my faves:
The Who- esp My Generation and Eminence Front.
A perfect Circle- esp The Noose.
Peter Steele of Type O Negative.
Fishbone
And of course- CHRIS SQUIRE!
