slapping

Hey Warwick peeps, There are many players who far exceed my own ability with this technique, but I went ahead and broke down how I perform and think about double thumbing/double thumping/bidirectional slappification anyway - in HD with high quality sound :) AND, it features a sweet custom shop...

How do you lot do your thumb slapping and is there any good sites to help me with the slappin if you could just tell me:)

Hey guys, I've been trying to get my slap technique sorted on my passive fortress but I can't quite get the right tone out of the bass. Any suggestions on how best to set up the tone controls and head (profet 3.2)? I was listening to some TM Stevens stuff and I know that he's got the 3 band...

i really enjoyed this clip... aside from enjoying the music... i really dig the guy's stage performance. "yeah!" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ThoGOST-Gw

Hi guys, Do you think the old fret makes slapping sounds thiner ? my Thumb 5 NT is 1990 bass, last time I took it to the shop, they said the fret is so played, I am thinking if it will sound better after refret...... What is your idea? Joe

Hi, I thought the slapping note should be louder than finger note in the same volume, but I always have the problem of that during the song playing, sometime I wanna slap a little bit but it just didn't come out. I use to have a Fender Jazz 5, it bring more punch note so it works this...

anyone else here use your middle finger rather than the pointer? i don't intend to change the way i'm playing, but every instructional video i've ever seen and my teacher all use the pointer. i've tried and it just doesn't feel natural.

hey whats up? i didn't find any topic that would help me out, sorry if we had that topic already. as you maybe know i bought a Thumb BO5. Hell of an instrument i tell ya! anyways, since its a 5-string bass and im used to 4-string basses its much harder for me to slap since i am used to a...

Greetings, everyone... I'm back, and ready to start talking about technique. I figured I'd start by digging into everyone's favorite one to talk about... SLAP. Every trade show I go to, I pass by the booths each day, and at EVERY single manufacturer of either basses or bass amps, there's a...

hey guys! I have the change to get a warwick thumb Bo Ltd 2003. well, i really love the actual sound and the handling, but the slapsound is...well it sounds like you would slap a precision bass...is that because of the old strings or is that what the bass sounds like? I mean i love the sound...

I've been playing for a few years, fingerstyle only. I've currently got a newly aquired a 'vette std 5, which is a definite keeper. However, I'm just starting to learn to slap and I'm finding the string spacing to be a tad too close for me. I've got the chance to do loads of overtime this month...

I want to buy a Corvette $$ and I'm wondering if this baby has a nice slap tone. How does it sound compared to a Thumb or a Corvette Std.? Especially if I bought a 5 string; is there enough space between the strings to slap it properly? Or can I adjust the space? (I hope my English isn't too...

I have some questions for those who own a fretless Warwick: 1 - Do you play slap on it? 2 - If "yes", how does it sounds? 3 - The slap doesn't destroyes the fingerboard? Thank you!
