Rockabilly Slap Bass! I'm playing a '51 Blonde Kay with LaBella Supernils on it. My action is really low. It was recorded acoustically. http://www.myspace.com/arealgonedaddy

  • nice slappin but intonation could be better

  • I agree. It's an ongoing struggle. Due to bad habits. thanks for the comment!

  • Nice, clean triplets and intonation. I just picked up my first upright, slapping the shit outta the stock steels, ouch, haha. I love the definition and sound of steels, but i need something a little lower tension.

  • They look like steel but they are nickel would LaBella Supernils on the E and A. The D and G are nylon wound.

  • Is that a full set of Supernils?

    Are you Amped?

  • Supernils and not amped.

  • you should make a lesson of this video

  • @Juicefani11 Depends on the bass, if it is from a reputable small business who normally plays and sets up their own basses it will be fine to play. However, most basses will require a setup, this includes bridge placement, strings, etc...

  • When you buy an upright bass, is the bridge off it's place, or is it already installed? I thought of buying one from Thomann next summer.

  • One more slap and you're a drummer!

  • zajebiste, :D

  • awsome

  • Nice !

  • Good stuff!
