Mark King, playing and singing.
A life-changing moment, the day I tuned the E down to D and finally figured out how that was played.

It was probably the first slap line I ever learned, and one of the first songs that I transcribed from ear.

I'll probably catch some flak for mentioning these, but I love the slap sections in Aeroplane and Claypool's rendition of The Awakening.

I'll also add another Chili Peppers track; Stone Cold Bush.
Funny thing is I don't particularly like Flea or emulate his style much, but these two songs are absolute pinnacles of slap bass achievement in my eyes. |
