I started a thread on another site about this here:

http://www.musicianforums.com/forums...d.php?t=417930

In that thread someone posted a link to a quick time vid:

http://www.basslobster.com/videos/vi...otenlesson.mov

I found this really handy, as well as the mp3 lesson (also a link on there somewhere).

I'm struggling to get to grips with it at the moment - I think im getting it slowly, but its really tiring and I cant practice it for long.

Man, thanks a thousand years!At last i got it,you know i had a really twisted view about this thing(thought that actually was slapping with your right hand's thumb and tapping with the left hand's thumb but that would be called "dual thumbing" right?He-he).Thanks for broadening my horizons and show me new possibilities.
P.S.:At last european members
P.S.2:That's a lot of cd's!
P.S.3:I see you play a thumb bass too!
