Any bass can be good for funk if you use your fingers right

Yep. . . Flea plays funk on his Flea bass live, he's used Stingrays in the past, he uses Alembics and Wals among other things in the studio. James Jamerson, who played on about every Motown hit, used an early 60s P-bass. I believe Victor uses a P/J configuration on his Foderas.

Many times when people say "the tone is in the fingers" it is usually not the whole story, but in terms of funk playing I'd say it really is.
