    He can’t really slap……..Well, he can slap with his thumb but can’t pop……….Hes bloody amazing regardless :)

  16. pandathe3 says:

    Bear in mind how long ago this is and how this man influenced Miller.

  17. strongbadian4747 says:

    Uhhh…Yeah. Hoping that’s sarcastic.

    It was Larry Graham. =D

    There are a LOT but you do have to count thier genre too. it’s a tricky thing to put a “Rank” on creativity.

    My Vote: Bootsy Collins.

    But The Reason I Bought A MusicMan: Louis Johnson

  19. Lukania says:

    He’s not a funk god. His stuff was really more R&B than funk. Like The Brothers Johnson (Louis’s Band) was more funk.

  20. beatleboy00 says:

    Those are called ghost notes and it’s one of the hardest things to do because he’s keeping a rhythm with his slapping hand. Good luck attempting that, nonetheless that fast.

  21. Bucketheadhead says:

    For the last fucking time, I was referring to Cliff Burton ! I love Louis Johnson, he is my favourite bass player.

  22. Bucketheadhead says:

    Well considering he was one of the pioneers of slapping I think he can do it just fine.

  23. pandathe3 says:

    You should buy a bass because you like the way it sounds and feels……Not because a big player uses one.

    Nonetheless. Ray’s are amazing basses :)
