prof_nutbutter:bassist:

Try using a lighter touch and try to minimize your finger/hand motion.
Most novices use too much force and too wide motions, you will be surprised how little force it actually necessary for slapping.

Getting a bass teacher is the best thing to do to improve slapping.

Order "The Slap Bass Program", hosted by Alexis Sklarevski. The best Slap video out there.

Seems like a more appropriate place for this thread.:)

Pretend that your bass is my ex-wife, Stephanie.

Practice?

Make sure your gear is set up right. New roundwound strings and low action are good.

After that, practice slowly, listen to the Brother's Johnson, and have fun.
