Nice!! Thank you. The first one has really good sound, really good bass player. I grew up in the 70's but I was into Led Zeplin, Stones, ZZ Top, etc.


Do you play the bass?

[MalcolmGandi]

Ow! Too hot in the heat stroke-ah!

Do you play the bass?

Yes, but very, very poorly! :D

The reason I'm so infatuated with the slap and funk players is because I can't slap worth a darn, and marvel at the skill. Some of those guys (especially Bernard Edwards from Chic) have incredible speed and dexterity.

I stay in the realm of alternative rock (Pixies, Social Distortion, The Replacements, Stone Roses, etc.), because the lines are usually simpler and slower.

Zeppelin's one of my all-time favorite bands! I wasn't born 'til '84, but I always loved the old-school jams.

If something's gettin' you down, ya gots ta funk it up!

Fun-kay! I used to play some bass as a youngster and always aspired to be Bootsay, baybay!

Who here is UP for the down stroke?

I love this stuff.

I play bass as well, although my slap skills are limited.

I wish I could get paid for checking out funk bass on Youtube. I'd be rich already
