The Funky Thread

[Moff Chumley]

Simply put: Bass is the funkiest instrument. There are countless examples; Stanley Clarke, late Talking Heads, Sly & The Familly Stone, Parliement, for heavens sake! Funky!

Yes, I know. everyone is entitled to one useless thread once in a while

[Cyrano]

Is this a Discuss thread? A question? Are we meant to start making lists of funky bassists?
The confusion is killing me! Or maybe it's just confusing. Hard to tell. Because I'm so confused.

[Moff Chumley]

Explenation: Discussion. List. Useless thread.

Basses.

Personally my favorite bassist is Krist Novoselic, then again I'm incredibly biased.

Nice choice, but it seems kinda skimpy.

I prefer something with a little more meat on it

Yep, it is the funkiest instrument:smallsmile:

[Arameus]

Yes. You know, the band Yes.

That's some funky bass.

Yes has funky bass? All I got from them was a vaguely messianic singer with odd vocals. AWESOMETACULAR band though.

[Moff Chumley]

While I admit that Yes and Chris Squire are fully capable of playing anything the want, and speaking as a man who owns the vast majority of the music they released, Chris Squire doesn't strike me as a very funky bass player. Possibly The Fish, or maybe something off thier first album was a tad funky, but not to the degree of, say, James Brown or Parliament.

James Broooown? James Broooown! Yo!

[Vaynor]

Yes. You know, the band Yes.

That's some funky bass.

Yes, Yes has some nice bass. (that looks weird..)

[I'm da Rogue!]

I love the bass in Rage Against the Machine.

Isn't it funky?

Yes. The Fish has an awesome bass... :smallbiggrin:
Too easy to pass up

Oh dear, I really didn't realise the pun until you pointed it out :smalleek: ...
Yes: Good Bass, Funky Bass
