About 25 years ago,there were a couple of guys busking in Vulcan Lane on friday nights....a tenor sax and a silver painted double bass.I used to go and watch them with my daughter who was about 3 then.The bass player slapped like this,with percussion on the body - best busking and slap bass I've ever seen.The tenor was pretty good too.

If that's your idea of slap bass we're voting you off the island. You'll only get one ukulele as a flotation device too.

There is some wicked talent in here, that Mark King is too good, always had a soft spot for Crimson. Not their best tho.

Barrett is into Jazz Fusion in real life, plays about 5 different instruments including bass. He also plays The Crack Fox which is my favourite MB character.
