Der! Larry Graham... inventor of the common slap technique on electric bass, commonly used in the musical genre funk, and member of groundbreaking funk band Sly and the Family Stone.

Either him or snother member of that great band such as Sly Stone.

As a fellow bassist and musician, I couldnt agree more. Bootsy Collins is up there too.

Talking music wise though, I would say RHCP's Flea is there too. I spoke to him personally once, t was a great day (an idol of mine). He is the most layed back and chilled person you will meet, and lets face it, hes a great bassist!

Wouldn't be no Bootsy if there weren't no James. James Brown is funk!
