Endorsing: Ampeg | | Join Date: Apr 2005 Location: Apopka, FL | | | Jazz you have a decent list. Funk...eh...so here's a few:
Billy Bass Nelson, Boogie Mosson and Bootsy Collins (Parliament/Funkadelic, Bootsy's Rubber Band although P-Funk stuff is far superior)
Larry Graham (Sly and the Family Stone, Graham Central Station)
Kool (Kool and the Gang early to mid-70's stuff, not the 80's stuff)
I can't remember the names of the bassists of these bands, but here's some cool funk bands to check out:
War
The Commodores
The Gap Band
Ohio Players
Isley Bros from the 70's |
