chris_b Posted October 31, 2021 Posted October 31, 2021 For starters, listen to any of the dozen or so A list bass players on Keb Mo, Bonnie Raitt, Robben Ford, Steely Dan, Delbert McClinton and Crusaders records. 1 Quote
EdLib-3 Posted October 31, 2021 Posted October 31, 2021 For sensitivity and tastefulness, Gary King bassist on Idris Muhammad's Power of Soul Not strictly funk all the time but Jamaaladeen Tacuma doesn't seem to get mentioned here much and he's an amazing and unique player: Quote

Barking Spiders Posted November 1, 2021 Posted November 1, 2021 As the OP likes funk and slap bass, other than Louis Johnson the second must go to is Marcus Miller, no question about that. This is an essential tune for lovers of slap 2 Quote
