Mike Inez, in Ozzy's Mr. Tinkertrain. That deepest deep tone just kills me. Love it.

 

Cliff Burton, The Four Horesemen, with those bump notes at the beginning of the song. Brutal.

 

John Myung, anywhere on Awake. THAT is how a low B string should sound.

Mudvayne on LD50

ISIS on In the Absence of Truth

Callisto on Noir

A Day of Pigs on In the Crease(song)

Opeth whenever I can hear it above all the noise ;)

Porcupine Tree on Halo(song)

Kings of Leon on Charmer(song)

 

as for any slap tone, I tend to prefer my own :)

I don't want to pick a "favorite" because each has such different purposes, but here are some that I really enjoy:

 

Muse - Hysteria

Tool - Schism

Marcus Miller - Blast

Powerman 5000 - all of Mega! Kung Fu Radio

 

Mudvayne on LD50

I unintentionally forgot about TOOL :facepalm: haven't listened to them lately. but by darn EVERYTHING about TOOL :D

 

LD50 is imo the only COMPLETE album by Mudvayne(meaning it has a beginning, and sort of tells a musical story right until the end of the CD. that's the end of space on the CD as it's 74 minutes ;) should have been longer... ). The rest is just mish-mash, nothing new and interesting. Maybe the 2nd CD had a song or two worth mentioning.

Tool - all their albums have amazing bass tones, really.

 

Opeth on the "Lamentations" live DVD.

 

Jaco Pastorius on the debut album.

 

Roger Waters on "The Wall".

 

on "Panopticon", "Oceanic" and "In the absence of truth" albums of Isis.

 

Greg Lake's on King Crimson's "In the court of the crimson king" and on "In the wake of Poseidon"

 

Colin Greenwood's on Radiohead's "My iron lung EP"

 

 

 

and many many more, i could never say only one.

Obviously sound clips from youtube are sketchy but these are some of my favs. All worth finding original "real" recordings and listening:

 

Graham Maby w/Joe Jackson - actually anything from the two albums "I'm the Man" and "Get Sharp!". LOVE this stuff.

Ralphe Armstrong w/JL Ponty - lots of yummy effects tones on one of the coolest bass solos ever. At 4:30 just watch out - yikes!

Rocco Prestia - What is Hip? (of course)

Larry Graham, THE funk/slap sound, ne plus ultra

More phasey effects type sounds, this time from Chris Squire:

A couple of others I couldn't find vids for:

 

Les Claypool w/Holy Mackerel doing "The Awakening"

Percy Jones w/Brand X, lots of stuff, but "Wal to Wal" comes to mind

Mark Sandman w/Morphine on "Honey White" or "Buena"

 

Lots more, but I'll restrain myself and leave it there.
