| EQ is also quite important, Bass High, Treble High, Mid Low. This normally almost opposite to what I EQ my bass as, but i don't like playing slap, though have recently learnt to play it alot better. Technique wise, make sure you are letting ur thumb pass the string ur playing to rest on the string bellow, your hand should be around the end of the fretboard. and start simple, just octives moving up and down the neck, good luck. |
