Slap bass exercise

[CanKuman8]

Thanks a lot man! Normally I play acoustic guitar but I have a band where I play bass guitar at, I just started slapping my bass after 1 a.m and I'm getting pretty good :) This exercise is great!

whats your setup here - you have a beautiful tone - i know the aerodyn jazz bass but whats your amp and eq?

@Smoothbassline thanks! my setup is p pickup only, tone off. amp was (i think) bass +2, mids + 1 or 2, treble - 3 ish

basically for a nice full fat slap tone you need a good low end with a dose of treble for popping

new, bright (light guage) strings help too

[tonymcg4]

you may have your action set quite low - usually creates a lot of fret buzz - also depends on the type of strings (quality and guage) hope that helps
