Alexis Sklarevski was one of the first bassists to come out with a great slap method. Takes me back (about 20 years?) seeing this. |

...and it seems to be true Mr. Gates can't seem to quite releasing Beta versions of his products for us to debug, but that is just IMHO.

If you use OSX, then you can only use Apple basses. I prefer the Bass Pro, though some prefer the Bass Mini due to its short scale. The iBass and the Bassbook are also nice. | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
