Larry Graham or Louis Johnson

[cassanova]

In Louis Johnsons instructional video he himself credits Larry with the creation of slap bass.

Larry was probably the first bassist to do it, no doubt, my point is that the technique is borrowed.

I wonder what Louis is doing now...

I got some footage I took at two concerts he performed at in the summer of 2002 he was using two different basses and an SWR rig. I was not impressed with his playing or his sound. It seems like his talent did not progress with his age. his style appears to be a little on the wild side thus preventing him from employing some of the newer techniques. As a matter of fact his thumping and popping seemed primative and without feeling. He has gotten back with his brother George and the two are touring again.

Agreed. But it should make sense.
