Have heard of Victor wooten before but never listened to him.
Just downloaded "classical thumb" of him. I thaught my mp3-player scrathes, but it was him who slaps with unbelievable speed.

I thaught the "inventors" of slapping were Marcus Miller or Stanley Clarke.

Nope. Funk started that craze. Larry from Sly and the Family Stone; and Bootsy from P. Funk (earlier from James Brown Band)

Pete Steele is the best by far. He can play and sing very well at the same time.

Les Claypool does it, Voctor Wooten does it, Sting does it and they are by far ( is that English???) better than Steele!!!
Well, he can destroy the strings with his thumb!!!

HA HA!!!! 
I donīt know the other bassists, but these???????
Fieldy, the moron-slapper
And thereīs nothing special about Sam Rivers(?). I donīt know whether thatīs right, but thereīs no need to know the name. Thereīs just one good thing about him: he plays Warwick ( i think, he plays one with the LEDs in the fretboard). |
