Iam a bass man myself, love a good funky, deep, slap, tapping bass lines 8-)....You probaly have't heard of Les Claypool but my god he can play a bass, 4 string, 6 string fretted & fretless, double bass...its the way he uses them, its not eveyones taste but to me he's a bloody legend 8-)
I got to hang out with Bootsy Collins a few years ago what a hoot!
For those who arent familiar w/ Lest Claypool he does the theme song for the cartoon "Southpark" but that is really a bad example of his genius.
