Eric Beam Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 anyone else a fan of Jons bass sound on the last few amos recordings? it never leaves the bass realm but is never muddy or covered up. the sub notes are just sick.. i know half of it is mark hawleys engineering.. live is same deal.. chamberlin/evans best live sound i've heard. how is this done?

LizzyD Posted April 28, 2005 Share Posted April 28, 2005 Yep, count me as a fan of Jon Evans (and Tori). I don't know what the recording set up is as far as bass, but he's using a Lakland these days. However he sounded just as amazing on older stuff with a Tobias. I don't think there is anything wild and crazy going on gear-wise or recording technique-wise. Just plain old good recorded bass tone like the pros know how to do. Maybe the fact that there isn't a big guitar presence in the mix has something to do with it. It also helps that he's such a tasty player. I've been hugely inspired by him and Chamberlain on the last few records, and the live DVD from last year.

John W. Posted April 28, 2005 Share Posted April 28, 2005 I get to see him on the SF Bay Area local scene when he's not on the road. Just saw him killin' it on string bass with a great trio--The Michael Bluestein Trio , with Michael on piano, and Jason Lewis on drums. Jon also has a recording studio and is an excellent engineer. I've gone to record there several times, and having Jon in the booth is daunting and inspiring at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henryrobinett Posted April 28, 2005 Share Posted April 28, 2005 I played with him a few times several years ago in SF. Great bassist and great guy. This was rigght before he joined Tori. All the best, Henry Robinett Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
