Bassically, Bootsy Collins on Parliament's "Bop Gun"?

Uh yeah...i told my drummer, who is also the lead singer and likes to toss his sticks in the air and try to catch them (ala Neil Peart) that everytime he drops them, he gets a BOOOSH. I dont care where we are in a song, or what Im playing, a'BOOOSHin' I will go. Needless to say, our gigs are littered with BOOSHES.

Just got a great little tube amp. I think it is begging for a big old honkin' BOOOOSH. The neighbors may not feel the same way. Will report back after the deed is done.

B-Voom

B-Voom is a variant of the mysterious Voom, as demonstrated in the Cat in the Hat Comes Back. Employing an upper-register tritone, the B-Voom is typically played on the A and E strings. Fingered 2-1, the "B" is placed on the last sixteenth division of beat 3, while the "Voom" portion of the lick is a MASSIVE slide that should be placed on beat 4.

I don't know if it cleans up stained snow, but it can clean up the pocket and set up a very deep downbeat.

Wish we had a boosh like that to really clean up the snow here on Long Island!

I love the Booosh. The temptation to over Boooosh is something I constantly struggle with. I generally Booosh at least 3 times in a standard cover gig. Only one is premeditated. In Creep (Radiohead) after the falsetto vocal “run, run, run, run, R u nnnnnn” –Booooooooooosh -Bass face -headstock thrust toward the current position of Ursa Minor in the night sky. Crowd roars (in my head)

Okay not to hijack or change thread topics, but what would be the terminology for the "body bang" at the horn? You know give it a couple closed handed bangs and let her ring out.

Is it bad that I play more BOOOOSHes than actual correct notes?

You obviously didn't read the thread man. If you BOOOOSH too often, it just makes you look like a DOOOOSH. You can't wear it out man.
