Slap bassists who use drop C... or Drop C Bassists who slap

[SMILEYSIXX]

Anyone know any bassists who use both drop C and slap?

I attempt it in C# tuning on one song with my band. While we are all playing, that part def drops out and I am using a Fender American Standard P Bass. I would assume that an EQ pedal will boost me there but instead of spending money on the pedal I may just change the bass line.

Slapping sounds ok by itself in on this bass and in C# tuning, I just find it to be too low to be punchy. This will prob be the last band I tune this low for anywys.

The band Psychostick has a lot of slap bass and I believe the current bassist and the bassist on the first album both use/used drop C.

I do.

so does Ryan Martinie from Mudvayne on alot of songs.

I'm nowhere as good as Ryan, lol

I try to do it in my band, but it feels kinda weird in a drop tuning, haha. I forgot about Ryan Martinie, he's a good one. I believe Emma Anzai slaps a lot and I'm fairly certain most Sick Puppies songs are in drop C... I'm just looking for bassist that do what I'm trying to do... although finding someone who does EXACTLY what I do is pretty difficult, I slap in drop C with dead roundwounds on a fretless P bass lol.

I'm going to throw Les Claypool into the mix. I don't think he slaps in drop tuning, but he has definitely made a career slapping a fretless bass. Michael Manring tends to put some slapping licks in some of his tunes as well. I'm not quite sure if you will find what you're looking for but good luck!

Les slaps in standard... including on 6 string, which has a low B. Especially prominent in the song "My Name is Mud."

Yeah, Les plays in standard, but his fretless slap tone is absolutely phenomenal!
