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.

slap bass is very cool. Our bassist can do it. It's a lot more interesting than ordinary bass.

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.

I'm tryin' to learn...Smile

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...
