Jazz Bass Marcus Miller Signature... nah, not absolutely

I think any good Fender Jazz Bass, the newest ones IMO will help you, and be sure to find a broad neck dimension for more comfort.... BUT...

There are the "Like a jazz bass but ON STEROIDS" basses such as
-Sadowsky
-N.Y.C Basses by Fodera
-Lakland
-Nordys

..and I've only named a few .. many factors are involved depends on you: if you want Old school style, new hi-fi tone etc.. I'm sure there are experts here who can help you with more detail!

I agree with everyone so far, but just as an added irrelevant comment, I was over at the used instrument store the other day and there was a Tune bass hanging on the wall. I tried it and immediately noticed it had about the best slap tone (modern hi-fi style) I ever heard. Just sayin.

Any bass!!!!!
Having a proper technique is the issue, not the bass itself.

You might want to try using the search function for your answer. Now to answer:

I believe some basses are more suited for slap than others (soundwise), but for most part it depends on the technique of the player. Classic examples of good basses for slap include StingRays, Jazz basses, Soundgears (imo) etc.

Stingray. There's no better slap-sound than a Stingray.

Although I agree with others that technique is most important; however, slapping on a Stingray is just sooooo f-ing good!

 

[JZQuantum]

Any good Jazz bass. If you want to start out on the cheap but decent route, check out SX, Squier, Ibanez, Yamaha, and the like. Def. go used to save some $. Should be able to find good deals.

...a precision with new strings sounds good, but they've gotta be at least FAIRLY new for it to work really...

Jazz Bass (Marcus for sound), any Fodera (need I say more...), Stingrays, MTD, Zon etc...

However, these are for the best feel and sound. Any bass will do.

The most important aspect is how the bass is set up. If you have a Jazz bass with high action and insanly heavy strings your sound and technique will suffer.

Any bass you can get to have a good consistant low action will be great.

Any headless bass.

Don't know how they sound, but they need a good hard slap IMHO.
