Raslee Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 If looking for something modern ish then check out The New Mastersounds, Breakestra & Galactic....Personal favourites though are all things P funk & JB's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The fasting showman Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 I'd go for 'Donny Hathaway- Live' and 'Fresh' by Sly and The Family Stone. Have a listen to 'Glide' by 'Pleasure' too, I've only got that as a single but a real gem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoonBassAlpha Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Defunkt's "Thermonuclear Sweat" is unsurprisingly funky. Tasteful playing from Kim Clarke. Some horrible guitar playing on it though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bengovier182 Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 TM Stevens is a slapping beast, 'Thumb' is a sinple pattern but the cleanliness of each is the trick. Bootsys 'penetration' is one of my favourite slap basslines to. And I'm sorry, but i wouldnt call mark kings bass anything less than funky, perhaps a little more poppy.

Angel Posted October 17, 2012 Author Share Posted October 17, 2012 [quote name='dmz' timestamp='1350337947' post='1837633'] Stanley Clarke ....... Find Out [/quote] I love that album!!!! Great great bass sound. Unfortunately my copy is vinyl, so I haven't played it for a decade or so. I must buy that again on CD. Thanks all for the many great suggestion!

fretmeister Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 Steve Salas greatest hits "the sun and the earth" TM Stevens on bass. It's an entire album of funk rock. Not a duff track on it anywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
