Do you slap bass?

[Nooco]

I love slap bass, and I think I am not too bad at it.

I guess you dudes know what's slap bass.

 

[Alex]

yes

 

[Tony G]

lol @ this thread

 

[Pacman]

Yep.



Like Tina Turner on her honeymoon.

 

[Blueszilla]

Sure, why not? Usually only when the moment calls for it though. It's like spicin' up your favorite food. A little is good, maybe more is better, but too much is......well, too much.


How about fillin' in yer profile so we can see what u got?

Keep slappin'!

 

[ibz]

Yes, it's a technique among other things that I enjoy.

Also, to threadstarter, why not fill out your profile and make people more familiar with yourself around here.

 

[Rob Lewis]

Having said "yes" to the poll, I'm not much cop at it.

 

[Humabass]

Yes but I'm an "old school" slapper. Can't do the Wooten thing.

 

[bill_banwell]

Nothing wrong with a bit of slap now and then.. when its needed

 

[steveb98]

I'm old school I like some slap, but think many over do it. I dig Marcus Miller he goes between finger and slap as necessary for the section of a song. Still feels like a bass part.

I don't like the clicky-clacky constant slap I hear some guys do. To me it doesn't feel iike bass, more like a precussion part.

In Russia, you don't slap your bass, it slaps you!

 

[dragon5363]

this is sort of a dumb question...who DOESNT slap?

ive been trying to resist saying this but oh wel... here goes...

"You want i should slap you?"

 

[Kobaia]

yes/ sounds great, but I suck

 

[AuG]

Yep.

When I play funk, which is all the time.
Slap fits in certain music, and doesn't in others. Gotta find a nice medium.....

[BadB]

I try. Not too good, though.

 

[jonathan_matos5]

one day i shall slap but for now i do not

 

[MD]

Nope.
Don't want to. Don't need to. Don't ever intend to.

Don't pop either.... unless it's corn.

 

[rkejeepin]

I slap, but I wish I were better (more percussive I guess) with ghost notes. Pfft...

 

[Mike]

Yep.



Like Tina Turner on her honeymoon.

lol! oh boy...

anyway, i slap. i prefer the old school style, though, a la louis johnson, larry graham and, dare i say, marcus miller.

 

[Sagaris]

I can slap...badly.

I can Thump not as badly as I can slap.
