OK,
We have talked about favorite basses, favorite players and favorite bass lines.

My question is ?

Was there a song you were listening to that when you heard the BASS, you said to your self, "I love that tone" and wanted to duplicate it?

If so, what was it?

I will start

This is MAGIC by the CARS. Right at :57 you hear the BASS come in and I have always loved the tone that Ben Orr is getting out of that Musicman BASS through an AMPEG CAB.

OK, What was yours?

Starting at 0:24, love the growl and attitude of the bass.

My contribution is a bit long at 11+ minutes and there's no video, but it's worth listening through the whole thing. I love the muscular tone and the use of bass chords. The bass is particularly easy to hear in this rather sparse Airplane track from Bless Its Pointed Little Head. Plus, you get to see the lovely album cover with Jack Casady head down on the table. Here's Jack (with Jorma, Spencer, and Grace):

Everything on Rush's Permanent Waves. I just listened in sheer terror of how wonderful it was when I first heard it.

Ok, so I went out and bought an Ibanez bass and a little practice amp as soon as I heard this. One of the best bass lines ever (IMHO)

Tom "T-bone" Wolk, played a modified Fender Precision, I think his amps were mostly Ampeg. He passed in Feb 2010 http://www.tbonewolk.com/
