Been playing 23 years, this is one of my favorite songs. I suck at slap, and watching you make it look easy is frustrating. Hope you don't mind if I watch and try and learn.
nice going sir!! Loved how you played this one. Your hand's cool, relaxed and heavy! I'm a bass player myself and I'll watch your videos for few times to learn stuff. Great playing man! Cheers. M
I don't usually care for slap bass, but I enjoyed the video and your bass playing. You demonstrated that good bass playing is worth listening too regardless of the technique used.
@groovemark Thankyou Sir. It was only intended for an audio test, but I will upload a full version of the track in the near future. To answer your question, yes the doublethumb technique is needed for the solo section, the rest of the line/track is close thumb and index work ; )
Ah-mazing!! Feedback from the boys and I - backing track's too tinny, and too loud - would quite happily do away with backing track and listen to bass on its own.. headphones? Else use a video editing program to track up the backing track and video and adjust levels from there.
No clipping from the bass on the mic as far as I can hear, job's a goodun.
You rock man. Good job.

Your slap technique is great! So clean and precise. Are those upstrokes with your thumb?
