I've been playing the same 3 songs for months (Glide, Got to be real and Forget me nots), can you post some cool stuff?

Not really an entire song, but a fun and easy-to-learn lick/riff/whatever. I suck at slap so I adapted it to finger style and it still sounds good and is fun to play. There are also no open string notes so it's easy to play it elsewhere on the fretboard if you want.

Didn't realize this was a Stanley tune! I dig the faster tempo on Les's version though.

 

[Killing Floor]

Lots of Level 42 songs feature slap. He's a very good bassist.

I'm with you on Patrice Rushen, great song. I get lost in her voice and I can hear it 3 times and not remember the bass part. Just me? She's so smooth.

FYI, the theme over the closing credits of the movie 'Men in Black' is a direct rip-off of Freddy Washington's bass part from the Patrice Rushen song 'Forget me nots' (i.e. what he's been practising)

Lee Ritenour joked when playing that song live with Patrice Rushen that it was the song that put Patrice's kids through college.
