Slide bass technique - "Can You Handle It"

When 1 neck is not enough...

What do you think? It's a James Brown Production, however it has totally different vibe than most of the tracks James did with Bootsy. Bootsy's brother Catfish is on the guitar here.

Does anyone know what is the source of that? I took it from YouTube and enhanced the video a bit. First 5 seconds tells me it had to be released as a DVD bonus feature. However, I could't find any info on Discogs.

Graham Central Station's 1974 single "Release Yourself" is probably the first recording ever including double-thumping slap technique on bass. In my opinion, this is the best example of using it in a song.

He also played bass and sang backing vocals on the entire James Brown's "Gravity" album from 1986. This is the fastest James Brown track. Super funk!
