William Earl "Bootsy" Collins (born October 26, 1951, Cincinnati, Ohio) is an American funk bassist, rising to prominence with James Brown in the late 1960s, and with Parliament-Funkadelic in the '70s. His bass playing is driving, rhythmic and groovy, and has been very influential in the development of funk. His characteristic sound is produced by envelope filters (for example the Mutron) along with highly syncopated 16th note patterns and a very strong slap technique.
