A Rite of Passage for all FUNK Bass Players. And we all struggledwith the same exact parts :-) The right combination of thumb and pops. The new way of slapping seems pop centric and too dam busy. This is how to groove y'all.

@phillybass101 Agreed!, ...I even saw Nate rock this out on a Rick 4001 (i.e., ...of all basses) back in the late 70's during a Homecoming Concert at Morgan State Univ. ...and believe me, he played the living sh*t out of it!
This is a jam that would give you a funk overdose back in the day, we used to groove our asses off to this one at the rink, a 70's (1979) R&B/funk classic, no question...
This is all good.. Why don't they play things like this on the radio between all the other nonsense every now and then! It is real music for sure. Nobody could be offended.
@mscam I attended a few of you'll's parties back in the day. You College girls really knew how too turn a party out. ( I miss the beautiful times I shared with that crowd)
There're misusing those guitars!
