SLAP BASS SOLOS NO.21 Mark Adams

couldn't find a solo clip but had to mention Mark Adams of the funk outfit, Slave. A worthy contender for the up there with the best club!
this track features his unique slapping ability on 'TURN YOU OUT(INSIDE OUT),1983



"I've been fortunate in Slave that the band has always given me space to be a melody instrument and to lead the groove. I talk through my bass and step forward like a lead singer riffing; I'm constantly in freestyle mode. Steve calls it "annointing bass." I also look at my bass like a drum kit, using my thumb for the kick and my pops for the snare-like Larry Graham does. That's what I did on "Just a Touch of Love" [from Just a Touch of Love, Cotillion]. I don't know how Slave grooves like it does. It's hard to put into words, but it will always be in us."
