'Ashes are Burning' is a very good choice, and so are the three KC Wetton-era albums, 'A Farewell to Kings' and 'Hemispheres' by Rush, 'Fragile' by Yes, and the Hopper-era Soft Machine albums (Hopper's bass was a real killer!!) |

You're right Prog Bassist, I was trying to mention RED, but I don't know why I wrote Three of a Perfect Pair, maybe because I upgraded my Lasser Disk to DVD yesterday. Stupid lapsus of my part. Iván Edited by ivan_2068 |

I'll second that- Red has some killer bass sounds. "The Yes Album" and "Close to the Edge" have some of my favorite Squire moments of all time If the rest of the album had been more like "The Barbarian", ELP's first album would have been a clear contender. Metamorfosi "Inferno" is pretty bass heavy but it may be just a unique mixing technique... and Spock's Beard "The Light" does some simple but powerful things with the bass too

John Myung can make his bass sound very prominently, without losing a miligram of his immaculate skill!! 'Awake' and 'Scenes from a memory' are, as I feel it, the two DT albums where the bass is specially featured in most places. Another prog-metal act in which the bass turns out to ve a veryveryvery much important element for ths band's sound is Symphony X: both Thomas Miller (first 4 albums) and Mike Lepond (next 2) are really noticeable.

Definitely Red, as first choice, but there's some powerful bass on many a Zappa album - e.g. "Ship Arriving Too Late To Save A Drowning Witch". I love the bass sound on "Live At The Target" by Twelfth Night, especially on "After the Eclipse" in those mesmerising solo moments - although my vinyl copy sounds a little underproduced. Can't wait to get the remastered CD! The bass on "Script for a Jester's Tear" is pretty resonant too. And, because I think it's the original prog metal album as we understand prog metal now, "Master Of Puppets" by Metallica has drop-dead gorgeous, powerful yet sublimely understated bass courtesy of Cliff Burton (RIP). |

Anything by Wetton-era Crim, and Chris Squire (especially on 'Fragile'). I also love the bass sound on Thinking Plague's 'A History Of Madness'. And let's not forget about JY Theriault's huge bass sound on Voivod's 'Nothingface'.

Now the all-time top bass for powerful bottom sound is on this album: (If you do not believe, then just have a listen here) why do you think the bass is very exposed on the picture? http://www.mp3.com/albums/6902/summary.html A special mention to King Crimson's Lark's Tongues In Aspic.

Jack Bruce on Frank Zappa's Apostrophe
Chris Squire's Fish Out Of Water Helmutt Hattler, Kraan's bass player especially on their first 5 or 6 albums - especially Live, on which Hattler takes the lead from most of the set. The bass playing on Amon Duul's The Dance Of The Lemmings, has stuck hard as a favourite for several decades - btw my Mantra Records CD reissue has 6 track segments on the CD, but many more tracks are listed on the insert (but alas no times). Can anybody enlightment me by proving both track titles with timings? |

It is very powerful on "Stumbling over melted moonlight", although it is a bit helped by the distortion effect. Edited by greenback |
