I sweep by plucking every note. I play with three fingers. Do you mean like that, or with a pick?

Most likely because this is a bass forum?

Ask guitar questions on Ultimate Guitar or something.

Based on his username, I think he's actually a ukulele player. Show me some of those blazing hot uke licks!

You can sweep on a bass to Roon, but it is a technique employed overwhelmingly by guitarists.

I looked at some wooten slaping arpeggios earlier today, and found out I should do my own version of it to suit my needs better.

start slow.

it's a really easy thing to do you just have to play everything cleanly and mute properly.

try to use a smooth fluid motion and practice with a metronome. Most people have real issues with timing when sweeping.
