George, I was just wondering what tone you are using for this. (It's obviously not full low, but when I try slap bass, it always sounds dull and kind of drones for ages.) Its probably down to bad technique though!

[BassLessonsOnline]

The sound is a combination of many things. That said, however, we usually sound just the same no matter what bass we play. So, as Jaco Pastorius said, "the sound is in my hands."

If you post a video of you playing slap, I can send you feedback.

Kind regards,

George

this might be good for beginners, but honestly coming from an intermediate player, i would not aspire to sound like this guy does in the intro.

Standard tuning E A D G should be fine, especially in the beginning.

I'm happy to see you benefit from my tutorials.

Flats certainly produce a particular sound when slapping. Of course it depends on what sound you want, so at some stage you may want to go to a more conventional sound using roundwounds.

I love Stingray basses!

Thanks for your kind comment about my teaching style.
