Particularly the style that is heard on his latest album, Line by Line, which is all I have heard. I believe that Patitucci's tone has everything to do with his technique and approach to electric bass playing. He approaches the electric bass much in the same way a jazz guitar, which is usually characterized by clean, fat tone quality. To be sure, his equipment adds to his approach, but it is mostly his technique and playing style.
Patitucci also has numerous albums on the GRP label, including his self-titled solo debut. He also plays on Chick Corea's Elektric Band and a number of Dave Weckl's recordings. Check all of those out - he is amazing! Go to his web site,under his name.Look at equipment list,then for more info contact him.I personally think it's more to do in how he plays that bass than the gear he uses! |
