Beng a bass player I'd say one of my most influential bassists is marcus miller. Hes one of the kings of funk. Here he is playing a david sandborn song called Run For Cover. Its a jazz funk fusion. I remember when i was learning to play bass the main lick of the song was something i always promised myself id someday be able to play. Nowadays i play that lick most times someone asks me to slap something on a bass.
Here he is playing the song live. Make sure to check out his groovy bass solo midway through.
So good. That's the first guy I knew of as a bass as lead player. Just amazingly good. I always like the funk jazz deal too.
I like me a little bass-slappin. I played a bit too, was in a jazz band at school. Was fun. Played bass and trumpet.
Didn't know that about you. Two bass players. You and me! Probably why we get along
Lol, I don't talk about it much. I was ok, not great at it. I mean I could play along and not fuck up too badly but I didn't do any bass solo's.
