BSSM is the only album I've learnt from start to finish. I'd only been playing a few months when I started to attempt it and talk about teaching you a lot! I always remember Mellowship Slinky seeming impossibly hard. An album full of bass gems!

I'm really big into the chordal thing - works well with our bass/guitar/sax/drums line-up and gives the music a totally different vibe and colour. Am writing a song at the moment where I'm playing three note chords and then just picking out one note from each chord to outline a counterpoint melody as the chords change. Also gives you that hip hop trick of making you appreciate the bass when it goes back to its traditional function - take the bass away and it's so much heavier when it returns.

In an funk band I used to be in I did a lot of that, with a touch of tubey grind and a tremelo - sounded like a passable hammond live - great fun :)
