Today I was watching a live video on youtube of a band called pinback http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q65gx26o0NI

I was watching the bassist, but i have no idea what it is that he's doing. It looks like he's slapping, but it doesn't really sound like it.

Can anyone tell me what he's doing?

I'd call what little I watched more along the lines of *strumming*

Zach definitely does not slap. He switches between strumming and fingerstyle in pretty much every Pinback song.
