Was trying to learn slap last month, but I didn’t make much progress so I took a break. This has given me some ideas, will definitely try it again. Great lesson

Agreed, but getting a bargain like Dan's is a tough thing these days. Need to have the readies at hand, be quick and lucky as they get snapped up. Gotta think of those lovely thumpin tones Sting got from an Ibenez in the early days. Great basses 😎

Good lesson, Dan. I have only had success in slapping, if I came slightly down towards the A string if I’m slapping the E string. (Not a plucking sweep though). Going 90-degrees perpendicular on the string usually netted me with a dead note. Even with bouncing. Maybe I’m doing it wrong, but it works for me.

I’d like to see a discussion of setting up a bass for slap. For example, how low does the action need to be? I don’t set up my basses for very low action because I don’t like the resultant fret noise. That’s probably why I don’t get good results by bouncing my thumb; rather, I find it easier to play my thumb through the string.

I wouldn't have said there is a specific set up for slap. If it doesn't sound good maybe it's your technique. I used to think that I wasn't the problem when I first started and there must be some secret to achieve good tone but it's literally all practice and technique which comes in time

Thanks for this lesson. I can't slap to save my life but I play 5 string primarily due the various genres that I cover. I almost feel that the 5th string (low b ) almost becomes a hindrance when I do practice. Would you say that slap bass is easier to play on a 4 string?
@OnlineBassCourses
3 ай бұрын
I reckon that’s true, yes. I do slap on my 5 strings but muting becomes even more of a consideration and the string spacing (depending on what bass you have) can be more challenging.

One area I just can't get the hang of, slapping and muting(ghost notes), I nearly always get a slight harmonic no matter how hard I practice the technique. Great lesson Dan, let's see if it helps me. 🙂 Edited for question - How important, how much of an influence is action when slapping?
@OnlineBassCourses

The muting thing definitely takes time to figure out. Action is important. Too high and it’ll feel too hard. Too low and the tone will suffer.
@M_EvoBass

@OnlineBassCourses Cheers Dan! One of the pbasses I've got has fairly high action, think I'll lower it slightly on that advice because atm it's the one instrument I can slap a little better as a rule.Think it's around 4.5mm at the 17th.

It looks like you're slapping through the string? I can slap on top of the string OK but I when I try to slap through the string I mute the note.

@OnlineBassCourses Thanks for considering it. The issue is around string spacing, mutting. Why guys like marcus Miller and Victor wooten,Stanley Clark, who is known for slapping, still uses 4 strings mainly. I have seen Marcus Miller use his thumb on his left hand to mute. Can this technique work on 5 and 6 string bass? I think Andrew Gouche is the one slapp bass player that uses a six string. Other six string bass players like thundercat and Pattatuci are not known for slapping. The four string bass seem to be the king of slapp bass?

@@ontiretsemagome9154 I think you're right. There's a reason the 4 string dominates slap and that's because it's easier and the string spacing works well for it.

Kindly do a 5 string slap lesson. This has gold in it already.
