I gotta say that possibly the best funk bass player ever
was/is Francis Rocco Prestia, who plays for
TOWER OF POWER. All this and he never even
slaps. If you've never checked them/him out,
you're missing out on one of the founding bands
of Acid Jazz.

Also, kudos to Bootsy, but also Larry Graham
has to be included in the list, since he is the
inventor of Slap bass playing, and played some
very funky tracks both with Sly and the Family
and his own band, Graham Central Station, for
years.
