I really like John's tone A LOT on Line by Line. I do wish Chris Potter got more room on it, but I like this group's sound (JP Trio with but not really featuring Chris Potter). As far as bass sounds go, steel strings pizz have been bugging me lately. I've been listening to PC and Richard Davis a lot and find the gut sound to be more vocal and communicative, like it brings out a better, more real sound of the bass. I think John Patitucci is getting that kind of sound on this albums with the metal wound gut.
