Level 42. Start with their early work like Pursuit Of Accidents.

Yes... try that out, check google video, there are a couple of solo's on there if i am not mistaken and check out http://www.gazzbass.com a lot of mark king / level 42 bass stuff on that site. the site hasn't been updated in like a year or so but there is still good stuff to be learned on there!

Another thing about Mark King is he sings lead vocal and plays some sick stuff and the same time

Super percussive "thumbs up" player. No doublethumb, just raw speed and insanity.

Check out Mr. Pink!

yeah man, talk about talent... many of us have trouble doing either skill well, individually. Mark is a pretty smoking dbl-thump slapper.

He (Level 42) are about to release a new album, and are touring the UK later this year.

As stated throughout this thread, go for the early stuff first, more funky.
