14/15. I got the Victors confused. I guessed correctly on Thundercat.

Damnit, the app farted on me after I proudly was able to identify Thundercat. Don't ask me why I know him. He played for Mac Miller. Don't ask me why I know Mac Miller. I dunno, from what little I've seen, I think Thundercat's got MASSIVE groove.

Thundercat is awesome af. Played bass for Snoop, Erykah Badu, Suicidal Tendencies etc and has some killer solo albums

His Ibanez bass is fuckin incredible, and also seven thousand fucking dollars :lol:

This. And Kamasi fuckin Washington. Also Flying Lotus, and Kendrick Lamar among the others mentioned above. His brother Ronald is a drummer too who’s been on a bunch of stuff as well.

The correct answer is no one gives a fuck about the bass player.

fretless · Post by **fretless** » Thu Jul 16, 2020 10:25 am

you got that right

I quit after only getting to 2/8 and 1 was a lucky guess. :lol:

I actually have the privilege to sometime jam with one of the top funk bass players in Houston, and I have to say it makes all the difference in the world to me. All other bassist are kinda lame in comparison. I’m not saying slapping is the end all, but if you call yourself a bassist and don’t incorporate any elements of slapping in your style, then you’re just a straight up bitch lol.

Rant over.

When I was in high school, we were all talking about starting a band when none of us had instruments let alone knew how to play any of 'em. Jon was sorta the loser in our bunch, so it was "Jon'll play the bass. No one can hear the bass anyway."

I mostly agree , all players should embrace techniques and even invent your own . Thank you Larry Graham . but it's not a requirement to be a bad ass , there are a few who are funky without the slappy . Rocco Prestia or Bobby Vega .. fyi Bobby is probably the baddest mofo around

You can't talk about epic funk bass without mentioning Joe Dart :love:

Jeez 15/15...

Like who? Now Jaco wasn’t much of a slapper, but he’s Jaco, so he gets a pass lol, but then again he’s not a classic funk bassist.
