This, or anything Geddy lee

 

That too. And Kim Gordon

 

For tone I like Paul McCartney from Sgt Peppers & later.
When I`m Sixty Four, Lovely Rita, Come Together & Get Back come to mind (but there are so many more). Paul just had that sound. Take care. Bob

 

James Jamerson sounded collosal considering the recording equipment of the day - but I think it's his note choice and phrasing I really like moreso than the tone.

Many to list, but i'll stick with him.

 

+1

 

Sheehan, Butler, Harris and of course Duck. All classic P tones, all totally different from each other.

 

Tony Levin, Bruce Thomas, Macca

 

Jamerson and Duck Dunn on PBasses and Tommy Shannon on a Jazz Bass.

 

Duck Dunn. period.

 

Flea's sound from RHCP's "Blood Sugar Sex Magik". Nothing can beat Wal Mk. II
I also love Paul Simonon's Epiphone Rivoli sound from The Clash'es "London Calling" and the unique clanky sound Steve Harris does on his P-Bass.

 

Whomever is playing a P bass.

From motown to surf to punk to indie.

 

John Archer, bassist of Hunters & Collectors, has a great P-Bass sound, especially on the live The Way to Go Out.

 

Another vote for James Jamerson and Duck Dunn.

 

Justin Chancellor from Tool
