I like it. Dark themes are not my first choice, but I like the crisp, clean lines.  :thumbup:

Pay close attention to the bassist here...Louis Johnson, when he was young. He is playing the E string with his thumb!!! Check out the speed of his style.

An amazing talent.  :2thumbs:

He has been involved in many of the hits we have known by many artists:
... this quote from Wikipedia
Quote
Johnson is best known for his group The Brothers Johnson and his session playing on several hit albums of the 1970s and '80s including the "best selling album of all time" Thriller. His signature sound is from the Music Man StingRay bass which Leo Fender especially made for him to first use and promote, and from his slapping  technique.

Biography
His work appears on many well-known records by prominent artists. Johnson played on Michael Jackson's albums Off the Wall, Thriller and Dangerous, and hit songs "Billie Jean" and "Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough". He also played on George Benson's Give Me the Night. He was one of three bassists on Herb Alpert's 1979 album Rise, which included its top-10, Grammy-winning disco/jazz title-track.

I've always been a big fan of the Brothers Johnson and listen to their cd's regularly. Quincy Jones picked them up and they wrote songs on his team for many years including the Thriller album which Quincy produced as well as many other big named artists. ;)

Reminds me of Les Claypool from Primus. The dude is awesome.

Yes, he rocks too. :)

EDIT: But of course, you can't mention the bass without saying the name of "Stanley Clarke", the father of thumping.

Check out how he plays an acoustic bass like an electric.

Here's a vid of him playing with Flea (bass player from The Red Hot Chili Peppers), Sheila E. and a host of other musicians. Check out the woman playing the violin!

And he he is with Gregory Hines doing tap. This is on the Arsenio Hall show. Go about half way into the vid to get past the interview if you'd like.
