Jorge Pescara's bass workshop, filmed in 'Musifex music store', Lisbon - Portugal May 2007
Funk Fingers are a kind of drumsticks that are attached to the fingers of a bass player for producing extra-funky sounds on a bass guitar. They were created by Tony Levin (Peter Gabriel, King Crimson, Yes, Pink Floyd, Liquid Tension Experiment) and his guitar tech, Andy Moore. The aim was to recreate the effect of drumming on the strings of one's bass as done by drummer Jerry Marotta for Peter Gabriel's song "Big Time" when recording the album So.
The original Funk Fingers were strapped to the fingers, but after some experimentation with cutouts and elastic loops for fingers, Levin decided the most comfortable design has a rubber cap at the end of the fingers. The current version of Funk Fingers comes with two different lengths for his index and middle finger.
