Fairly simple questions here for any slappers
1: do you prefer thick/heavy strings or thin/light strings for slapping?
2: do you prefer high or low tension strings for slapping?
3: do you prefer high or low action for slapping?
4: is there a combination of these that would be considered the most commonly accepted way of setting up a bass for slap?
