1. Log off TB
2. Put on CD with good slap bass - the kind you want to play.
3. Strap on bass guitar.
4. Learn the parts, practice like hell.
5. Listen for differences between what you and the CD play.
6. Make corrections.
7. If there are still differences, go to 5.
8. Now you play good slap bass!

The kicker is, it's only 30 pages long. Very saturated, and very effective. TAB and standard notation, comes with a play-along CD as well.
I also thought this was a well put together book and very inexpensive.

Also Mel Bay's Percussive Slap Bass by Chris Matheos - if you do want to sound like a Kitchen-Aide Wildman Thrashmaster.

Oh yeah -- no pics = no older drunken hot chix

And do us a favor, TB is not a chat site for you, and your friends. Post with respect, and proper grammar.

Please.
Whoa there junior. Who died and made you moderator?
