I told my friends once that I could okay sixteenth notes. They didn't believe me, so I showed them one.

Michael Anthony did his fair share. Like, for instance...

It was probably a thirty-second note. Don’t sell your abilities short.
Paul Jackson with the Headhunters.
Listen through to the first chorus. The bass really jumps in the chorus.

Do you mean that old junkie? What was his name... Paco? Flaco? hmmm... Some tune named "Go on go over", "Sea people"?
All great stuff. I guess I knew a lot more than I thought. I suppose I'm as interested in a specific style as I am the bass note selection. I really like the Rocco style stuff, so I'll be listening to all submissions to this thread for similar stuff.

Norman Watt-Roy melding Jaco with UK pop #1
First song in particular, although the whole show is worth a listen.
Sooooooooo..... if it "feels like" 16th notes then it is?
Sorry. In that clip, they are in 4/4 time. Quarter note gets the beat. Cuz is playing two notes per beat. So he's playing 1/8 notes.
Now, if you wanna start a thread about "really fast finger style", be my guest. But if we're talking 16th notes, that is not an example of them.
One more try. Ah forget it. As friendly as I can suggest it 'cuz I ain't here to fight, your pedantry is in the way of you seeing my point. FINE, they're eighth notes and Rory is still one my musical Titans.
Have a good thanksgiving,
Kurt

I just luv the Internets! Whole thread is weird, IMO.
Second page wouldn't load for me, so I'm not sure if he's been mentioned...
