I'd like to think that I have my own style, but after watching some of his videos, I'd most closely associate how I play to Larry Graham's stuff when he isn't slapping. But I still play widely differently than him.

When he soloes, sometimes. It's rare. But, as I said, I've found my style to be pretty unique, and that's just a rough sketch.

Wha abou you?

Ah, the simplicity and enjoyability of some good improvised jams between a bassist and a drummer. Without those whinny, distortion humping guitarists. Not that I don't like guitarists, I just haven't been able to really play extensively with a decent one.

no its not that, its that guitar players often limit the potential of a bass player, and therefore the song in general

I know, but he's just upset at my bass hax when he can't play teh drums!

I'd like guitar more if all the people I played with didn't either suck or do the same thing over and over.

yep guitar players really like their famous  chords, especially those who play acoustic
shame really that they limit themselves with those chords most of the time
