Alexander 0 Posted July 6, 2005 Report Share Posted July 6, 2005 Mr. Brian May of Queen got unmistakeable sounds from his guitar. You may recall each Queen album had the statement, "No synthesizers used to record this album" on the back. He actually built his guitar at the age of 16 abd is still using it Link to post Share on other sites
Batman 2 Posted July 6, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2005 It's bass guitar, but Les Claypool has a very distinctive bass sound. Link to post Share on other sites
Aunt_Acid 1 Posted July 7, 2005 Report Share Posted July 7, 2005 When it comes to bass, I think Victor Wooten is pretty recognizable. Just because he's so fast and funky. I've only heard him with Vital Techtones and The Flecktones though. Link to post Share on other sites

Lambchop Flansburgh 0 Posted July 13, 2005 Report Share Posted July 13, 2005 As far as jazz players go, I seem to always know Joe Pass when I hear him. Beautiful tone. Link to post Share on other sites
johnnyguitar 0 Posted July 13, 2005 Report Share Posted July 13, 2005 Him and his dad also hand coiled the pickups using miles of telephone wire...the lengths some people will go to... Does anyone remember Bill Nelson?....check out 'Crying to the Sky' from Be Bop Deluxe's third album for the most awesome , apocalyptic tone you will ever hear. :guitar: Link to post Share on other sites
