Sorry, but many of us still find Fishbone to be an extention of Funk! Not too many conceptual differences in what they were doing and what George Clinton was doing with Funkadelic in the early years. Fishbone was just accepted by a different audience. It was a different time. George looked at them as Sons of the P!!! Listen to "When Problems Arise".

OK. Back from practice.... I Suck!!!
Back on topic. Geddy's been known to lay down a thumb from time to time. Best examples - "Big Money" and "Show Don't Tell". The phenomenal Baghiti Kumalo, played on Paul Simons Graceland and parts of Rhythm Of The Saints album.

Most people haven't heard the name, but most everyone has heard his playing. He's literally been on thousands of albums, enough for some to argue that he's the most recorded bass play in history. He was one of the go-to session guy in L.A. for years. He was particularly sought after to work out a groove when others just could come up with anything. His solo's are flashy and very entertaining, but it's his mean and potatoes work that really blows me away. One of the grooviest and most creative ryhthm section players I can think of.

It's all about the groove!

I don't think so at all. The two have nothing to do with each other. I saw a bass player playing Flight of the Bumblebee at a clinic once using a Wooten-esque double thumbing and open-hammer pluck technique. Nothing funky about that tune at all.
wow....
*on another note,
I really don't think slapping automaticly notates funk, however, I believe that the most MEMORABLE slap basslines ARE in funk music.
Didn't read any of this(beyond the OP's title); forgive me if this has been suggested: What about non-slap funk players? Rocco...

I'd have to say Ryan from Mudvayne is one of the best examples of slapping without it sounded funky.
I never thought hush was slap bass, just all tone and a sharp attack?
Whilst this album definitely has an element of funk to it, go out and buy Freedumb by Suicidal Tendencies. Working in slap with metal/hardcore punk.
