Check out this cats "slap(?)" technique.When he slaps w/his fingers,is he really popping,or,is he slapping w/his fingers just by attacking the string pretty hard?I can't tell,can you?? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SLyV5JLvxM0

Seriously, he slaps with 2 fingers and plucks with his thumb. |

EDIT: oops, Barnaclebeau beat me to it.

Nice try. | That's the whole point of me asking about the video.I would say 99.999999% of us bass players would automatically,INSTANTLY,recognize that his bass isn't strung normally.THAT'S WHY I DIDN'T MENTION IT.
Nice try,yourself.
PEACE,STEVE |

I found when I stood on my head the video made more sense but at my age that hurt like hell so I just turned the laptop upside down. Its not to bad if you can get past the guy hanging like a bat...

In a good way!
