what he plays is rather basic but I doubt that any of us could bring it so...       ...FUNKY!

You can buy one of his pedals at MF now.
Their April catalog has Flea on the cover & a nice big Bass section.

First song I ever heard of Parliament was Sir Nose D'Voidoffunk.  The bassline in that song took funky's lunch money!  It's so funky it comes with Speed Stick!  It's so funky, it'd keep Sly Stone up at night!  It's so funky it has its own gold rope and chest hair!

When I was I a kid, there was this show on PBS that Herbie Hancock hosted called RockSchool.  Thats where I first saw that clip of Bootsy.  Used to watch that show religiously.

I wish they would release that show on DVD, I used to watch it too.

I too grew up on the Mothership of Funk. I always liked the song Flash Light even though it was a synth bass. I still think Bootsy's best bass work was with James Brown.
