I want to thank you so much for pointing out the name of the technique, I've been playing bass for so long and now I have a whole new technique to work on :D, thanks.
Hello David can you tell me if the Fleabass is a god bass for intermadiate players? if it handles good,grip etc. and also... if you have time and want can you tell me about the QC issues(what it means and how can be solved). Please! i look into buying one and i don't know what to do:(.Thanks!
Hey David how would you rate your flea bass with the stock pick up. What are the pros and cons? and then what about it with the emg35dc what are the pros and cons of that?
He made a review the Fleabass with the stock, and the EMG pickup. Fleabass model 32 Punk [bass review], is the title where you can hear the difference for youreself!
waouh y a un truc que je comprends pas dans la technique ! bon en meme temps je suis guitariste à la base, et bassiste improvisé, mais en gros tu pop avec ton pouce sur la corde de ré en bloquant de suite, puis tu slap ? ou alors tu pop pas ? ou comment ça se passe, tout m'échappe xD ?
Hey man I've been playing slap for a long time but I've always had a fairly rigid right hand, and a lot of famous bassists i see seem to also have the hand quite tense, why/how do you play with your slapping hand so relaxed?
You Are actually a big inspiration along with all the big time bassists like flea, les claypool, victor. i have been playin bass for a little while now and am in need of practising thumb picks like you are doing, do you have a guitar pro or a tab for your verison of this song? just thought id ask before i try work it out by ear xD im not that great at it
anyway great job on the cover :) and all the rest of them.
@ThePeace0815 The double thump (the verse style slap) was made after the more common slap was invented by larry graham. So technically the verse style slap is a different version of the common slap.
This is a perfect cover as always from you David! Would you mind telling me where i can get this long uncut version? it´s so freakin awesome! i need it !!!
Salut man sa déchire vraiment se que tu fais continue comme sa :D :D et si ta l'occas passe voir mes vidéos :D je te souhaite une bonne continuation dans le monde de la musique
i learn slap in about 5 month of bass for the 3 first strings, training everyday, even on my leg in the street or in school it will make one year and that perfectible, i just talk of basic slap technique !
@CaptainVanilla You do that too? When you listen to music you air-slap bass to the beat and rhythm? I do that all the time and it helped me teach myself to slap and pop.
I learned this today and it'sa true fact. It takes 10,000 hours of steady work to master soemthing. David, I'm willing to bet money you have spent over 10,000 hours on bass, buddy.
you are my IDOL seriously man you just made bass even more fun to play for me than it already was! you have so much fun playing! god you're just too good :P
Tone, technique and emotion - all awesome. I've been watching your videos more or less since you started posting them on here and the transformation has been incredible!
Ok. First off, this is a freaking amazing performance. The only video of yours that I like better is the cover of Rolling1000toon by Maximum The Hormone. That cover was just too mindblowing. Anyways, I wanna learn to play this song pretty much exactly like you do. Could you please tell me what techniques I need to know? Thanks in advance. :)
HOLY SHIT DAVID!!! ok the guy i got my flea bass from striped my trust rod so he gave me the number to the guy he got it and it was the lead tech guy for RHCP!!! he gave me the number to flea and i was talking to him!!! and he is sending me a brand new flea bass free!!!! wild shit
look yes i am going to do these things but the bass was broken because the guy at the store was fucking with the trust rod. when the bass was working it sounded great and the feel was the best i have ever played ever! but when i get the email i will tell you whats what with jonny

Yo david...i know it aint your style of slap but i reccomend playing Power by Marcus Miller. I learned it yesterday and oh my is it fun. The song is just asking for improvs. Hope to see a video fo that soon man.
Hey! It is my kind of slap stuff, I love marcus miller. I already learnt Power once, but it's a freaking hard song to cover it entirely. Same deal with Rampage, it's quite easy but when comes the solo.. argh! :-P
oh i see my bad bro =) but yeah man i know what you mean! but honestly the hardest part on power for me was double thump technique. Such a minor detail but without it...the song seems empty. Maybe try to cover the main riff and section B with an improv solo? i would love to see you cover it man.
