Even If You Don't Like Slap?

[Mr_O'B]

Even if you don't like slap it would hard to deny that the slapping in the video is not
smooth, lyrical, creative and classy!

Every note is perfect!

That was awesome. Love it. Reminds me of the victor wooten double thumping techniques.

I find that hard to deny actually!

Like Victor, this guy uses his techniques to a musical end. I enjoyed that.

Saw this video floating around Facebook a month or so ago. I probably watched it 3 times in a row when I first stumbled upon it. Very musical display of technique and talent.

Victor has been an influence on so many bassists!

Anyone who denies it is not being honest with them self.

Good analogy of techniques to a musical end!

I've watched it too many times to remember, and I never grow tired of seeing it!

You've heard Meghan Trainor's song, "All About the Bass"? She didn't say anything about it
having to be a jazz bass!

Not the biggest fan of dudes speed slapping with zero lyrical content.
Who said slap can't be "Classy"?

I give Miki two and a !

 

[Altitude]

Yeah, I like that. It's a song first, the slap just happens to be the way he's playing it. It's not a technique display even though the dude is clearly very good.

Spoken very well!

I figured some guys who aren't really into slapping would appreciate the video.

I look at this like I view Michael Jackson, Prince and others...
I can respect the talent but I can't say I even like it a little bit, for the most part.

That's cool and you have the right to voice your opinion.

I like the video below even better... however, I'd love to hear to this on a wood-necked bass. Graphite necks really showcase their "plastic-ness" when they're slapped -- they just can't achieve that woody sweetness.

 

[JRA]

great stuff! thanks for sharing that!

 

[Doug Parent]

Aside from his excellent skills notice how even the voice is on that bass. I'm guessing thats a Modulus neck. Punchy.
