Bass Guitar this is.
I just bought Primus' Hallucino-Genetics Live 2004 concert DVD. Man, Les Claypool is amazing! He slaps that bass around like a rubberband. His voice is so odd and hillbilly-like, yet it totally compliments the bands overall style. "My Name is Mud" in this particular performance has so much added funk to it and Claypool's string-pulling speed is absolutely incredible.
Another stand-out in this type of bass style is Mark King of Level 42. Take a listen to "Love Games"... funky bass incorporated into pop music at its finest!
I also love the style of jazz bassist Stanley Clark; specifically his work with Return to Forever and the tracks he laid down on Al Di Meola's Land of the Midnight Sun album.
Geddy Lee of Rush can get funky too when he wants to. I need to rewatch my R30 DVD.
