Ryan Martinie has been one of my favorite bassists for his tone as well as bringing a very technical style of bass playing to the metal genre, slapping and all.
Jon Stockman from Karnivool has the most amazing bass tones I've ever heard. They're impossibly huge and warm with all the clarity to hear the intricacies of his playing. Phenomenal!
Super fat tone with crazy compession, to the point where some of his notes have a warm distortion. I can't describe it. I've never been able to compare it to anything else.
I’ve fallen in love with these basses in the past two weeks or so, and it’s an outstanding coincidence to see one pop up here. Bass tone? I don’t know how it gets better than Pino Palladino.
Legend has it chris Squire,got his amazing tone by splitting his bass signal into two channels,one to an amped Classic S.V.T the other a marshall guitar head.i'am not sure how accurate that information is,you gotta do your own research on that matter.However,i do know he had a very unique picking style,in which incorporated using his pick and thumb simultaneously against the strings.
arturo Acosta Yep, you can do this (sort of) with a stereo Rick and a Helix.... I don't have one but theres a YT video.. and it is the closest I've heard.
Amos Williams takes the cake for me, not just because he's such a good bassist with such good tone, but because he, as well as the rest of tesseract, are such smart musicians, everything sits together SO well
NOLLY, no questions asked! Every time I dial in my own bass and gear I try to find that throaty tone and he has consistently changed the way I look at bass tone as well as helped (like you Scott!) changed the way I look at playing the bass! Thank you both for all you are doing and keep it up!
Gotta love Marshall jcm800s being converted into bass heads lol. Lemmy's bass tone was a gods tone. Imo he was the first bassist to introduce a true dirty bass signal for punk/metal/rock music lol
Larry Graham, 'cause he sparked my interest in the bass when I was a kid. Of course, I didn't get a bass until a few months ago.. Never too late to start, correct?
@scott's bass lessons I love John Myung and his bass tones and sound, form dream theater and I've always loved the legendary Billy Sheehan and his three fingers playing style
Hands down, it has to be Cameron Lampert of Feed Me Jack. That entire group is filled to bursting with talented musicians, but Lampert's bass playing services every single song and ties everything together so perfectly. He knows exactly when to take center stage AND when to lean back and make the others look even better with his solid playing.
The power that Chris Wolstenholme brings to the band Muse with his bass tone is simply un-matched. Maybe for a video look into achieving his bass tone for obvious tracks like uprising and hysteria, as im yet to see a good attempt on here at those tracks 🤟
THIS bass in the "Prayer Position" playthrough video!! I've been a 100% finger style player my entire career and never thought I'd EVER play with a pick.... until I heard this bass. It's a game changer. It's turned my entire approach to the instrument completely on it's head! Very exciting!
I'm a metalhead guy, but haven't really had a favourite rock bass tone until I found Nolly's. That is the ultimate bass tone for metal, and eversince that, I'm in love with it and I would love to have a Dingwall NG-2 or 3 bass someday.
NO DOUBT SIMON !!! JOHN PAUL JONES IS SO INCREDIBLE IN LED ZEPPELIN!!! ABSOLUTELY MY FAVORITE TONE AND ALL THE MANY OTHER INSTRUMENTS AND RIFFS AND GROOVES HE GAVE TO ZEPPELIN!!! MY FAVORITE BASS PLAYER OF ALL TIME !!!J.P.J !!!
Yes I love both of those bass players tones for rock, check out the dudes tone from unprocessed (David John Levy) and also the current bass players tone for monuments (Werner Erkelens). There’s a whole world of these amazing underground bassists and bass tones, those 2 are my absolute favorite in the rock/metal game right now
Lemmy’s tone has always inspired me. Every time I hear the Ace of Spades it sends chills down my spine. His tone is my favorite hands down and he always did say that they played rock’n roll.
Honestly, Nolly. His tone sits right where it needs to in the mix of every periphery track he's played on. Its aggressive, big and chunky, but also smooth and a to be I could listen to all day.
Metallica’s late, great cliff burton, love his work and sound, may he rest in peace🙏🏻❤️also a huge fan of slipknots Gray Paul (may he rest in peace aswell) and current Metallica bassist Rob Trujillo🤘🏻
Justin Chancellor from TOOL has made the most beautiful bass riffs and once you hear his specific tone you know you're in for a treat. The man has greatly helped Tool become a defiant band in rock/metal
That overdriven bite of high end from Chris Squire will always have a place in my heart, as well as Ray Shulman from Gentle Giant’s punchy tone and basslines
My ultimate rock bass tone is Justin Chancellor of Tool. He runs his Wal basses through two mic'd amps and a clean preamp, and the tone is so clear and present.
Congrats on the material... your work is amazing! Thanks for that! I like Roger Glover rickenbacker tones, especially on "Hghway Star"... also Stu Hamm "P" sounds on Satriani's album "Strange Beautiful Music".
Justin Chancellor from Tool! The way his tone sits in the mix was a huge inspiration to me, his playing also was pretty influential. I’m originally a guitarist so was Justin and idk his style I just really admire.
Ryan Martinie has been one of my favorite bassists for his tone as well as bringing a very technical style of bass playing to the metal genre, slapping and all.
I have a ng3 you can get the Warwick thumb tone out of it does just get gritty tones it get very very clean low end and miss super crisp
Nolly’s bass tone is by far my favourite. Every single varient of tone he’s had through every Periphery record has hit the nail for me on what i like.
The Bass tone of Clay Goober of Polyphia is freaking MASSIVE, and i love every single note that is played.
His name is goober holy shit
Fitting for such an insufferably stupid pretentious band
Amos Williams from Tesseract has probably my favorite with Nolly coming in close second
cool man! i have the other way around. nolly before amos but yeah cool!
I think they both use darkglass pedals. Also John Stockman from karnivool has awesome tone.
I wish Amos still played the Warwick Thumb
This answer!!!!
Jon Stockman from Karnivool has the most amazing bass tones I've ever heard. They're impossibly huge and warm with all the clarity to hear the intricacies of his playing. Phenomenal!
I've always loved Ryan Martine. He's one of the reasons I became obsessed with the Warwick Thumb!
Nicholas Wicker same
Super fat tone with crazy compession, to the point where some of his notes have a warm distortion.
I can't describe it. I've never been able to compare it to anything else.

Yup, great tone!

@@lukea4572 thanks luke! gonna check out the vid!
Always loved Chris Squire’s tone, especially on his solo work.
Geddy Lee definitely has my favourite bass tone, the distorted high end and the clean low end is just so good
Dude, that 72 Jazz bass sounds insane. Especially on Snakes and Arrows Live or Clockwork Angels
Justin Chancellor from TOOL has my favourite rock bass tone.
Yup him and that vsauce guy
He’s also definitely good. My fav is Entwistle but Chancellor is definitely great!
🐐
Damn it man! That's who I was going to choose. 😉
mothball boxes he had a special made Warwick but he wasn’t happy with it and gave it back. Maybe he got a new one idk.
Amos Williams takes the cake for me, not just because he's such a good bassist with such good tone, but because he, as well as the rest of tesseract, are such smart musicians, everything sits together SO well
I’ve always admired Sting’s bass tone. I love a bassist who isn’t afraid to get creative with fretted and fretless instruments.
NOLLY, no questions asked! Every time I dial in my own bass and gear I try to find that throaty tone and he has consistently changed the way I look at bass tone as well as helped (like you Scott!) changed the way I look at playing the bass! Thank you both for all you are doing and keep it up!
I’ve always loved Tim Commerford’s tone. Rage Against the Machine.
Favorite Rock tone right now: Jon Stockman of Karnivool. Killer!
And again Tim Commerford, his sound and playing is amazing
My ultimate bass tone :
Justin Chancellor
So impactful and mesmerizing at the same time
Also Jon Stockman from Karnivool. His tone is huuuuuuuuuge!
Ah, another man of culture I see. Most underrated bass player out there tbh, not nearly enough credit for them tones and the effects he uses.
David Jhon Levy of Unprocessed has one hell of a apocalyptic tone... He also uses Dingwall's.
Justin + Entwistle would be nuts
Ultimate rock bass tone award:
John Entwistle
Yup
Bill Watts ehh
ua-cam.com/video/-vQyjVML-oY/v-deo.html
Geddy Lee
Me and my friends love to watch Robert Trujillo play. But Paul Gray will always have a special place in my heart ❤️
Jon Stockman from Karnivool has a HUGE tone and is my favourite
Collabed one of if not the best bass pedals on the market today so i cant argue with that
Nolly’s tone inspires me to no end. Everytime I dial in a tone, I pray I can come close to sounding like him
Jace How hope you practice to be good as him!
get a dingwall ng bass and dg adam
I love Chris Squire's sound. Always makes me want to pull out my bass.
Same here bro,his tone is breathtaking!
The late Bob Sheehan from Blues Traveler, underrated tone and player.... A huge inspiration to my playing
For me, Geddy Lee has the ultimate bass tone
Totally right!! Geddy Lee is my fav!
Yes Geddy Lee 🤟🤟🤟
or Chris Squire.
Indeed. A lot of similarities
Michael McKeegan
Therapy?
His playing, gets me always in a trance!
I'd go for Geezer Butler, such a brilliant bass player and I love that dark tone in Sabbath songs
Chris Squire was my fav before I started listening to Periphery a few years back.
This is my favorite series yet, RIP Nolly please come back
Tim Commerford's tone is iconic, i love it
Ps.: Just a honorable mention to Lemmy's tone, just because of how crazy and different it was
Gotta love Marshall jcm800s being converted into bass heads lol. Lemmy's bass tone was a gods tone. Imo he was the first bassist to introduce a true dirty bass signal for punk/metal/rock music lol
yeah lemmy tone,is extremely dirty and darn right raw! that's rock and roll!
Geddy Lee’s tone is insane
Larry Graham, 'cause he sparked my interest in the bass when I was a kid. Of course, I didn't get a bass until a few months ago..
Never too late to start, correct?
Nolly has the ultimate tone, that bass would be such a dream come true for me
Nolly’s tone, it’s absolutely massive
Tim Commeford. No matter if it’s the stingray or the jazz that he’s rocking, it always sounds killer.
Mike Inez has a serious tone. Incredibly underrated bassist.
Absolutely!
The really gritty tone that he brings to Alice In Chains is amazing
I have known Sheldon Dingwall for years... he started the company here in Saskatoon and its still going strong. He developed one beast of a bass line.
@scott's bass lessons
I love John Myung and his bass tones and sound, form dream theater and I've always loved the legendary Billy Sheehan and his three fingers playing style

I love Tim Commerford , such a cool dude and dang thats a big funk rock sound
The power that Chris Wolstenholme brings to the band Muse with his bass tone is simply un-matched. Maybe for a video look into achieving his bass tone for obvious tracks like uprising and hysteria, as im yet to see a good attempt on here at those tracks 🤟
The Ox, Mr. Thunder Fingers, Mr. John Entwistle had the ultimate rock tone.
THIS bass in the "Prayer Position" playthrough video!! I've been a 100% finger style player my entire career and never thought I'd EVER play with a pick.... until I heard this bass. It's a game changer. It's turned my entire approach to the instrument completely on it's head! Very exciting!
My pick has to be Chris Squire, a true pioner of the "lead bass" style, such an original tone.
Tim Commerford. It's just perfect tone that cuts through the mix beautifully
Geddy Lee playing a Rickenbacker is hands down my favorite rock tone!
Geddy Lee! Has a great bass tone,especially for RUSH early stuff,when he was using the Wal bass!
Fender J bass👍
Geddy Lee has my favourite bass tone. His technique gives him such an unique sound.
Pino Is my ultimate rock bassist hot damn he's tone is amazing
I'm a metalhead guy, but haven't really had a favourite rock bass tone until I found Nolly's. That is the ultimate bass tone for metal, and eversince that, I'm in love with it and I would love to have a Dingwall NG-2 or 3 bass someday.
I'd say John Paul Jones from Led Zeppelin! For me, Led Zeppelin II has the ultimate rock bass tone
NO DOUBT SIMON !!! JOHN PAUL JONES IS SO INCREDIBLE IN LED ZEPPELIN!!! ABSOLUTELY MY FAVORITE TONE AND ALL THE MANY OTHER INSTRUMENTS AND RIFFS AND GROOVES HE GAVE TO ZEPPELIN!!! MY FAVORITE BASS PLAYER OF ALL TIME !!!J.P.J !!!
Geddy Lee has my favorite Rock tone! His touch is second to none and he's easily identifiable! He's simply the best!
Caution, very basic comment incoming: Justin Chancellor's tone is the best rock tone
You can get his tone from a an NG2 or 3. I prefer Billy Gould's tone on "King for a Day.."
It fits TOOL pretty well, but I wouldn't call it "The best".
Yes I love both of those bass players tones for rock, check out the dudes tone from unprocessed (David John Levy) and also the current bass players tone for monuments (Werner Erkelens). There’s a whole world of these amazing underground bassists and bass tones, those 2 are my absolute favorite in the rock/metal game right now
Amos Williams has some amazing tone and listening to him talk about tone, technique and his playing has improved my own as well!
Justin Chancellor has a huge tone, definitely my favorite.
The tone in the alpha omega pedal preview video when Nolly down picks Flatline on a 6 string Dingwall is just unbeatable!
Toby Peterson from The Omnific has my favourite bass tone
John entwistle for me had the best bass time I’ve ever heard. So full, plus with his playing skills, just absolutely perfect.
Gotta go with Cliff Burton's tone. it's just amazing listening to the isolated bass lines of RtL and MoP
Nolly is my favourite for sure, that tone is insane!
Chris Wolstenholme has my favorite bass tone. I love that beefy sound and fuzz. I also really love the tones of Davie504.
Rex brown is my favorite bassist. A lot of people don't give him due credit... Tone and riffs an absolute monster.
Definitely Geddy Lee, I love the growl in his bass tone
Lemmy’s tone has always inspired me. Every time I hear the Ace of Spades it sends chills down my spine. His tone is my favorite hands down and he always did say that they played rock’n roll.
Ultimate Tone:
Toshiya - Dir en grey
Robin Schmiedebach Photography absolutely. Even his newer slap stuff.
Geddy Lee's tone on Red Barchetta has always been my ultimate rock bass tone.
Ultimate tone: Ryan Matinie of Soften the Glare/Mudvayne.
Peter Gabriel is one of my favorite vocalists, the Lamb Lies Down on Broadway is my favorite album ever!
Ultimate bass tone for me: Justin Chancellor - Tool!
Honestly, Nolly. His tone sits right where it needs to in the mix of every periphery track he's played on. Its aggressive, big and chunky, but also smooth and a to be I could listen to all day.
Ultimate bass tone: Charles Berthoud. His bass makes his slap sound like it’s going through a Darkglass compressor. IT’S SO GOOD!
I have been digging Nolly's tone for years!
Ultimate bass tone: Faith No More's Billy Gould
Absolutely. Zon and picking really hard
@@ricardojmestre Aria Pro II on The Real Thing
Dingwall one of the best bass! Awesome tone
Metallica’s late, great cliff burton, love his work and sound, may he rest in peace🙏🏻❤️also a huge fan of slipknots Gray Paul (may he rest in peace aswell) and current Metallica bassist Rob Trujillo🤘🏻
Definitely Nolly fore sure
The combination of dingwall and darkglass pedals give you the ultimate modern bass tone
Fat Mike from NOFX especially on 'All his suits are torn"
Geddy has my favorite rock tone, he sits so well in the mix and the music is bass-forward to highlight it
"Justin Chancellor" of Tool (if we are being honest) for sure.
Jacob Umansky!! Sick bass tones and amazing player.
Favorite tone would always be from nolly getgood. First time i heard periphery , i immediately searched for the bassist. Monstrous tone ever
Geddy Lee and Billy Sheehan is my favorite bassist and their tone still active in my current bass
Scott! My favorite rock bass sound is Geddy Lee’s.
Keep on this awesome channel!
I've always loved Geddy Lee's tone. That opening riff on Cygnus x-1 book 1 is magic!
Jesse Keeler from DFA1979
Maybe an unorthodox choice but I love the tone from the short scale bass and weird amp/cab setup
Justin Chancellor from TOOL has made the most beautiful bass riffs and once you hear his specific tone you know you're in for a treat. The man has greatly helped Tool become a defiant band in rock/metal
That overdriven bite of high end from Chris Squire will always have a place in my heart, as well as Ray Shulman from Gentle Giant’s punchy tone and basslines
Christopher Wolstenholme - I love his Rock and synth sounds.
Man, I love geddy Lee's tone. it's so powerful, yet so controlled
Colin Edwin from Porcupine Tree has gotta be one of my favourites, I’ve loved that band for years and I’ve gotta support a fellow Aussie ;)
I live for nollys tone and the aggression but also how well it sits in the mix he is my go too for everything I do
Geddy Lee. The Catalyst for me since i picked up the bass. 40 Years ago this Christmas. Oh dear!
My ultimate rock bass tone is Justin Chancellor of Tool. He runs his Wal basses through two mic'd amps and a clean preamp, and the tone is so clear and present.
Been loving Fieldy´s bass tone all my life
I've always been infatuated with Nolly's tone and how gorgeous it sounds. I strive for a tone similar to that of his
Ultimate Rock Bass tone... Is Kevin from Knocked Loose 👌👌👌
Congrats on the material... your work is amazing! Thanks for that!
I like Roger Glover rickenbacker tones, especially on "Hghway Star"... also Stu Hamm "P" sounds on Satriani's album "Strange Beautiful Music".
Lemmy's bass tone is the best metal bass tone ever recorded, it feels like ur being hit by a tank when u listen to it.
Justin Chancellor from Tool! The way his tone sits in the mix was a huge inspiration to me, his playing also was pretty influential. I’m originally a guitarist so was Justin and idk his style I just really admire.
Ryan Rumchaks from Knuckle Puck has my favorite bass tone, super unique and fits really well with the bands' sound.
Nolly honestly he's really the person i look up to when it comes to mixing and also his sick tone
Actually Adam Nolly has the exact bass tone that I totally dig!
