    Can't slap/pop to save my life

    And disagree I will. Any bass without a bridge pickup !? That's redic.. slapped P bass is iconic. Plenty of love out there for slappin P's. I've heard decent sounding slap on short scale basses too. It's tone... It's just a matter of opinion.

    Practicing vs Playing with people

    Jamming with others is great and will definitely have a positive effect on your playing. But It won't teach you the fundamentals of music and how to apply it on bass.. The best way learn this, IMO, is with a good teacher and regular practice routine. So in short, I think both are important.

    Same LMIII in Markbass combo?

    What a smashing idea ! I think I might do this. Mine is out of warranty anyway. Built their own cover how and with what? out of interest.

    Light/powerful enough combo: is MarkBass the only option?

    Markbass isn't the only option, but its the best option.

    Need to ask a quick question

    Wording of the question is strange.... In E minor the 4th is A. It isn't called a minor 4th, it is a perfect 4th. (Most likely the answer to your question). Unless your after the fourth note in an E minor pentatonic scale, which is B.

    is there such thing as a funk scale?

    I agree with this. (Except I thought bootsy slaps quite a bit).... What's with all the slap haters out there ? Bad bass playing is bad bass playing. Why blame a technique? Perhaps the slap haters are mainly those that have difficulties with it ? Sorry to derail slightly. Op: there is...
