The bassist for the funk group “[Slave](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91pg54SDTJE&feature=related)” passed away in March of this year. If my SMDB search skills are off, delete the post please.

Here is a [youtube](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91pg54SDTJE&feature=related) featuring some tasty funk bass licks.

Footnote…turns out that the Guitar Player, Mark “Drac” Hicks passed away in June.

They were in their 50s. What a shame…
