funk-rock jam bands?
Recently I've kinda gotten into, I suppose, 'funk', but I only rarely hear any stuff that I really like. It's usually either too soft or has some instrumentation that I really dislike or has too much of a jazzy sound to it or too much from this genre or that genre, whatever. I suppose what I'm looking for specifically is guitar-oriented funk-rock jam band type stuff. Any recommendations? It doesn't have to fit that description entirely (if it has somewhat of an electronica/dance sound to it, that's okay).

You definitely need to check out Jupiter Coyote. www.jupitercoyote.com
Especially their live stuff. They just released a new studio album/live DVD entitled "The Hillary Step." The DVD was recorded in 5.1 and is about 2 1/2 hours long. Sanders Brightwell plays the pure hell out of the bass. Let me know what you think when you hear it.

Bela Fleck & the Flecktones. The bassist, Vic Wooten, is so good that he also plays shows by himself with just his bass and a drummer.
