One of the most interesting threads I've run into.

I'm not experienced enough when it comes to funk, but saying funk is slap bass is a somewhat questionable statement.

I remember I used to think that way myself. I automatically thought that when I heard a slap bass line, it was funk. I'm sure this is not neccessarily true, as it's not the sound of the instrument which directs the style. It's rather the approach or should I say feel, of the musicians. I'm quite sure that a good funk artist will even make a stone slapped against tarmac sound good.
