Slapping with your HAND, not fingers!!

[midbass]

After watching all the videos on youtube, this new one came up and it amazes me that I've yet to see any other bass player in the universe that slaps the way Louis slaps:

It's hilarious to see him slapping with his entire hand!!

He probably could do it with OJ gloves on...

Doug Wimbish does stuff like that to great effect too. And on the 2008 Return To Forever reunion tour, Stanley Clarke did a bit too much of that for my taste.

Let's not forget Bootsy baby! He spanks the smack out of his basses.
