I've been fooling around with them a lot lately and having heard Flea's strumming and chord use on SA as well as older albums, I have been interested as to some other prominent bassists that do this. Any genre. 
I like how flea uses chords if that helps a little.

In general you need to play chords up the neck on bass or they get too muddy. Stanley Clarke played chords low down the neck, but he was playing a tenor bass most the time. Down the neck playing 10ths can sound good. |

I've seen them perform live many times and they're absolutely amazing!! It's on their older cd its Mike Landau on guitar, Abe Laboriel Sr on Bass, Greg Mathieson on keys, and Vinnie Colaiuta on drums. On their newer album its all the same except for the drummer is now Abe Laboriel Jr instead of Vinnie.
It's an amazing cd with awesome musicianship and great tunes! I listen to mine every day, its a 2 cd set! |

"Too Many Puppies" for example.

He's an amazing strummer, and his fluency with chords is amazing. I have his book Chord Bassics (I also have Thumb Bassics), it contains over 500 chord fingerings. At £1.59 it was a steal! | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
