Beng a bass player I'd say one of my most influential bassists is marcus miller. Hes one of the kings of funk. Here he is playing a david sandborn song called Run For Cover. Its a jazz funk fusion. I remember when i was learning to play bass the main lick of the song was something i always promised myself id someday be able to play. Nowadays i play that lick most times someone asks me to slap something on a bass.

Here he is playing the song live. Make sure to check out his groovy bass solo midway through.
