Franny. Falling In Love With The Board Age: - Gender: Female Posts: 5246	March 9th, 2006 at 07:17pm it's a technique bass players use, the 'slap n pop' thing. like it looks like bass play's hand is slapping the bass and the strings have a stronger sound. gahh hard to explain sorry, someone else can probably explain better.

Stuart and the Avenue Jackass Age: - Gender: - Posts: 1053	March 11th, 2006 at 07:35am I can slap. It gives a really interesting sound (maybe its just my bass, but i dont know). If you can do it then its certainly worth trying to get it into a song..... EDIT Although when i first tryed slapping, it was kinda hard b/c my hands got really red and kept hitting more than one string.

December Cynic Geek Age: 32 Gender: Female Posts: 328	July 27th, 2006 at 07:07pm I'm tryin' to learn... But, there's this moron who plays country on his bass and he uses the slap and pop technique on EVERY song. I thought country sucked to begin with but he doesn't have to murder it...
