Rocco Prestia is one of the most influential and respected bassists of all time, pioneering what may be the most recongnizable and identifyable style for electric bass.
Rocco has achieved what few people manage to accomplish in one's lifetime. He actually redefined the paradigm when it comes to playing the bass guitar. His driving, pulsating, seemingly impossible 1/16th notes and "ghost" notes changed forever the way musicians approach this instrument. The dynamic 1-2 knockout punch of Rocco Prestia... quickly set the standard for defining the groove.
He is a master of finger-style funk and has been driving the groove for Tower of Power ever since their 1970 debut. |
