    I've got most of the main techniques involved in slap bass (everything from Ed Friedland's Ultimate Slap Bass DVD) and so I'd like to learn a few tunes to get a bit of a repetoire going. Can anyone suggest some basic to intermediate slap tunes to get me slapping away. I dont want any Vic Wooton tripple popping on the same string madness, just some good slap bass tunes.

    Try Pow by Larry Graham and Graham Central Station. Funky as they come!

    I just took a look at MarlowDK, his stuff seems pretty good.

    I like this jam video for example:
