No problem, although you might want to edit your post so other posters will know what you meant if they didn't read this far.

I don't know if it's just me, but check out this video, specifically at the 7:36 mark, and maybe it's my imagination, but is Gene actually SLAPPING or POPPING???

Nope, thats the guitarist playing that.. seeing that Gene is waving his hands in the air at the time of the "popping and slapping".

Please try again.

You're right, I didn't notice Gene waving his hands at the time of it. Ah well, he doesn't need to slap and pop and display flash and B@lls to prove he's a relatively good bassist.

I'd say that he's a good bassist SPECIFICALY because he DOESN'T slap and pop.
