Demo of some upright slap bass technique, including some triple slaps and other fun stuff on my newly set up upright (Thanks Jack @ Upton Bass Boston!)
The basslines in this demo are original compositions, let me know what you think!
@blueridger28 Hey, thanks so much for the compliment! This is a pretty old video so I've improved alot since then, I'll post a new one shortly!
Anyhow, you definitely want to get it set up. Find a professional luthier in your area, and tell him/her you'll be playing slap style, they should be able to help you out alot! Trust me, a proper setup is probably the single biggest step in playing well.
Feel free to message me with anymore questions you have, I'm always happy to help!

@blueridger28 Also, the strings I'm using in this video are Weedwhacker Pros, which I actually don't use anymore. I switched to Eurosonic lights and I love them! I'll post a video shortly with the Euros so you can see what I mean. You can order them at Golihur Music
I just bought one it is factory set. Do you need to lower the strings to realy get that awesome slap sound? BTW kick ass job man sounds good
