    Nathan Navarro- Dubstep bassist.

    This is very cool, thanks. I really love electronic music (Aphex Twin, Boards of Canada, Squarepusher, Flying Lotus, etc), but I'm usually not a fan of dubstep, as too much of what I've heard sounds either really cookie cutter, or just like random sound effects. I like that a) this actually...

    Frank Blair contacts?

    I just want to say Mr. Blair's work on Marvin's "In Our Lifetime" (especially Heavy Love Affair, that was and is my JAM), is awesome and incredibly underrated.

    Flea is not really that great is he??

    Totally disagree with the OP. IMO, Flea is one of the grooviest bass players ever, and is unquestionably one of the greatest ambassadors for the instrument ever. Flea is the man.

    Did James Jamerson wank?

    I have never heard a Jamerson bassline, notey or not, that didnt serve the song, or called attention to the bass at the expense of the quality of the music. Yes, he did play a lot of notes sometimes, but sometimes the song called for a lot of notes. He played with incredible restraint and...

    Michael Anthony...

    Well, IMO Wooten, Marcus, Jaco ARE (or were) successful. IMO as long as you don't have to answer an alarm clock at 6:30 am every morning to do a soul crushing job, and can pay your bills layin down the groove, your doing great to me. To answer the question seriously though, I'd pick the...

    Best Funk Album Ever

    Rejuvenation by The Meters is a personal favorite, but you can't go wrong with any early-mid 70's Funkadelic or Parliament. I go with Funkadelic Standing On the Verge..., but Maggot Brain, Free Your Mind.... and the vastly underrated Lets Take It To The Stage are incredible. +1 to the person...
