Barking Spiders Posted January 27, 2017 Author Share Posted January 27, 2017 I'm a huge funk fan and a fan of P-Funk especially but I'm not sure Bootsy is cool as such. Unique, a one-off for sure but he's a bit too wacky to be cool. Of those suggested so far I'd have to give the top places to Ox, Tony Levin and Mick Karn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find it's quite hard to [i]not[/i] look cool holding a bass. In terms of effortless chops I would go for Matt Freeman. [/quote]This.

Shaggy Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 Possibly the most predictable reply; but I'd have to nominate John Entwhistle closely followed by Tony Levin Of ones I've seen recently; Eddie Meyer of Turin Brakes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bootsy is just all The Funk - he can't even talk without being funky. Which is cool. But can you imagine Doobie-in your funk? [MEDIA]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IHE6hZU72A4[/MEDIA] Saying that, Lemmy was proper cool as well. And Big Tony Fisher from Trouble Funk...
