is this what your avant garde has taught you, has imparted on you, to ruin dreams and be awful? that's cool man. god bless.

I've always been a terrible person.

So uuhm, you were right, it goes away after a while. I'm listening to music again now. Music I wasn't familiar with before. Funk / Soul. James Brown, Sly & The Family Stone, Larry Graham and Graham Central Station. What's cool about it is that my dad likes funk so I can finally have some music with him in common.

Does anyone know some funk artists with a lot of slap bass? Just like I said in the funk reccomendation thread, Slap Bass is my music fetish.

Dude, look up Parliament or Funkadelic (or any of their billions of iterations), specifically the albums that feature the bassist Bootsy Collins. Enjoy your trip through space and time (and funk).

Victor Wooten is perhaps one of the best bassists of our time (or maybe ever), and as far as I'm aware, was mostly a slapper. Anything by him is good. Check out some of his solos, particularly his arrangement of "Amazing Grace," if you're not convinced.

Congrats by the way, on your newly discovered musical love! Funk is a great genre, one of my favorites. It'll be easy to expand into the music that evolved from (or fused with) funk as you look into it.

At the moment I just tagged Funkadelic, Parliament and The Meters. Going to listen to them when I get to them, atm I´m at the second track of the first parliament album.

Don't know about good slap bass songs, but I recommend Bad Company. Rock and Roll with a dash of funk to it. You might like them, although not everybody does.
