How about fillin' in yer profile so we can see what u got?
Keep slappin'! |

Also, to threadstarter, why not fill out your profile and make people more familiar with yourself around here. |

I don't like the clicky-clacky constant slap I hear some guys do. To me it doesn't feel iike bass, more like a precussion part. |

When I play funk, which is all the time. 
Slap fits in certain music, and doesn't in others. Gotta find a nice medium.....

Nope.
Don't want to. Don't need to. Don't ever intend to.
Don't pop either.... unless it's corn.  |
