Hi marlowedk!! I'm a fan of yours, can i ask you a question? everytime you slap in an upward motion, it sounds like a "pop" how'd you do it? how do you position your thumb in the strings, is it deep down the strings to make it sound like you pop it, or its just the bass pick up that makes it sounds like that?
@jayrcastro10 How he does the "pop" sound when he slaps is that he takes his finger (in this case, his middle finger) and pulls upward, causing the string to go higher than it normally would off of the fingerboard. He then lets go, as if he's releasing a bow string, and it hits the fingerboard, creating a popping sound.
Hi MarlowDk love your bass work. Would you be able to give us a vid on how to get a good bass sound. What you use yourself and what you recommend? I love your bass sounds as Im sure alot of people here do also.
sir! were you using your mac book pro to record this video? i need some help to get the same quality 1080p video and be posted on youtube. thanks for your answer!
@mrbeautiful3211 it bears a striking resemblance to a korg tuner from what little I can see of it.....btw, most of those tuners have a metronome built in....that's probably where he's getting the metronome click from.
@MarloweDK great videos! I've been subscribed for years and love your playing. Just wanted to know how useful you find the ramp. Would love to have the freedom of moving my thumb off the pickups but im not sure if it's worth it.
cool T-shirt!
