[quote name='iconic' post='841761' date='May 19 2010, 09:57 AM']Department S wasn't it?....didn't Mr King get caught with a lorry driver's 'load' in his hand, in a motorway service station?

...that guy was always drinking as I remember, had interesting fashion sense, and drove a Jenson Interceptor...don't remember seeing any bass though?

When I first started playing bass I associated slap bass with Flea, after some actual time learning the instrument and researching players I soon realised 'King' is the 'King' of slap and always will be. Far FAR superior lines for me, also a much nicer tone.

But that's me though.

For technique, I would say that MK wins hands down, but for tone and phrasing and generally sounding like a [u]bass[/u] player, then Flea gets my vote.
