I've been a guitarist for many years but recently bought a new J-Bass to learn and possibly get into home recording. I always perceived the bass as kind of a boring nothing instrument because I was a dumb fuck. I wanted to challenge this perception and funk music seemed like the natural place to find a bass showcase.
And now I'm hooked.
I spent my entire life up to this point not truly appreciating how hard Rick James, The Isley Brothers, P-Funk, etc all slap. God DAMN Street Songs and 3+3 are masterpieces. I want more. I know it's out there and I want it. You guys have any suggestions? Songs or albums would be more useful than listing off artists.
