Bass Players You Can Spot A Mile Off......

+1 to many of these, and Marcus Miller for some reason. I remember thinking it's got to be him on the sub's to Everybody Hates Chris. The mark of a distinctive style, I guess.

I spotted Mick Karn playing at a few of those early ones.

Yesh, Marcus.. even when he's not wearing the hat and looks a bit like this -->

Did anyone mention Jaco already? Or is that like trying to ramming in a wide open door?

Butterfly is a RHCP sample- Pretty Little Ditty from Mother's Milk.

+1 for Marcus Miller. The no1 slap sound for commercial funk.
Louis Johnson sticks out like crazy on 80s sessions.
Nathan East sometimes stands out for his taste and sense of melody
