    This is such a badass groove. My wife walks in and says, "It sounds like Flea." I said, "No, Flea sounds like Buddy." Funk forever!

    Hi to all funk fans!
    No,I've never recorded on an official Slave album.I recorded with them in 1977 through 1979 at the house of music in NJ.Some of the tracks I recorded was used on Aurra's 1rst album. Mark Adams and I along with Slave members are on that album.I'm only on Aurra's 1rst album.I'm also a member of Young & Company and Steve Arrington's Hall Of Fame.I'm also included on a bunch of Slave compulation Cds released by Atlantic Records.Don't stop the Funk!Buddy Hankerson

      Fender was king then-still is in my opinion; now only if they would have the vision to go forward like some of the other bass makers and make a 6-string Jazz and/or Precision-passive pickups, like the original also... 12-8-23.

      This is how it used to be with some of the baddest bass players back in the day, when funk was king, before the music industry destroyed the funk movement, and Buddy Hankerson was definitely one of those bad cats!
      I mean the new cats got chops up the a__ today-but they don't know how to bring it like this cat and so many others did back then!
      The best I can put it is that it was a different "spirit" and music, that motivated and inspired the playing-not like the musicians of today... 12-8-23.
