Iceman Irwin Posted July 25, 2003 Share Posted July 25, 2003 my standards? here it goes: -it should fart but not suck -it should be rich despite being low -it should stand out in the middle of a frequency-fest -it should be clear as a bell without causing anyone's eyes to twitch because their ears just got shot with a 16 khz string pop -it should sound...uhmmmmm probably that's just it. How 'bout you guys? If Jaco's bass sound farts, please forgive me for doing it always! ONCE A LEVITE, ALWAYS A LEVITE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Afro_Man Posted July 25, 2003 Share Posted July 25, 2003 It should be crunchy like gravel and as mellow and smooth as the fonze and everything inbetween. You guys can be poetic in a strange Kinda way.

jeremy c Posted July 25, 2003 Share Posted July 25, 2003 It should roar like a lion and cut like a machete. And it should purr like a kitten and melt like butter. Free download of my cd!. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davebrownbass Posted July 25, 2003 Share Posted July 25, 2003 Bass tone so warm you could take a bath in it. So punchy that it hits you like a baseball bat, but you are wearing Hockie Goalie gear, so it doesn't hurt. "Let's raise the level of this conversation" -- Jeremy Cohen, in the Picasso Thread.

dcr Posted July 25, 2003 Share Posted July 25, 2003 If you've heard Supertramp's "Child of Vision," or Gerald Veasley's track on the Jamerson disc, that's it. Ooooooohhhhhhh yeah. Still tryin' to get it. Advice is sought. What I mean is that it should be like playing in melted butter on .... No, I'm not gonna do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bassplayer5217 Posted July 25, 2003 Share Posted July 25, 2003 so smooth and round you could bounce it on the floor, and so groovin' and gellin' it is as sweet as a melon so pure and so bright it would blind you with one glance, but soft and mellow enough that it will put you in a trance .~.

_Sweet Willie_ Posted July 25, 2003 Share Posted July 25, 2003 The sound Pino gets when he flips that "great tone" switch on his bass. You know, it's the switch right next to the one he flips to activate "all the cool notes" that only he is allowed to play. Oh wait, maybe I'm just thinking of his basses' output jacks... spreadluv Fanboy? Why, yes! Nordstrand Pickups and Guitars. Messiaen knew how to parlay the funk.

Hepnurecords Posted July 25, 2003 Share Posted July 25, 2003 Entwistle, Squire, JPJ, McCartney... all available on demand. From one bass. And uhhhh, oh yeah I'm awake. It's out there. MOSTLY in the the hands. Helps if crappy gear isn't getting in the way. Big and beefy, clear yet gronky. Twangy but not harsh...ya know? Like that. D.
