Ok well I've been watching A lot of videos on YouTube lately , and I often see bass players throwing in this like chime/ping fingering tone? Anybody know the name of this style/name ?? Or can direct me to any videos or tutorials on how to perform this "chime" style? I usually see it being performed in bass slapping videos. Its almost always done when they are about to finish their solo.. thanks!!

Why don't you provide us links to the YT films?

Perhaps you could give a link to one of the You Tube clips. That way, people might be able to help you better.

Unfortunately the link is not working for me. I can only guess what you mean. What Victor Wooten is doing often is: After he played a string the "normal" way (pop, slap thumb that is) he would gently touch the string with his righthand thumbnail. Near the neck pickup. There is also a spot with hamonics. This gives a nice bell like tone and you could even bend the string.

Yes he plays harmonics at the end of that clip.
