you should have a fret-less 5 string

What kind of direct box or effects do you use to get your sound when your playing slap bass?
Thanks

oh dear God...this is hot !!! like the riff,like the bass !!! too bad slappin' just won't work out for me XD but i'll dig that sooner or later
-
@iwaslikepfffft well...practice hitting the A string slowly until you can get a clean sound...and if your still having problems you can mute the E string with your thumb(left hand) or your other fingers....if the line isnt too hard.
but it realy isnt hard if you practice :)

i have such a problem slappin with the thumb, i cant hit anything besides the E with it because if i try the A or something i just hit like two strings at a time. any tips on thumb control perhaps? haha, i would appreciate it greatly

haha it reminds me of seinfeld
MAN,how do you get that crisp tone,do you back off ur lows & mids? when i do that i feel like i lose 2much low end. maybe its just my ears.sometimes i have no trouble gettin it but i just can't maintain it. i've got a decent rig with a line6 basspod pro,a crown 1000wt p/amp.My jazz bass sounds killer on certain presets but some are unusable in a live setting.I'd like 2 find 1 settting i could use all the t[me but i keep chasing the tone. love the riff,but the tone is jammin!

Maybe I just suck...but whenever I do the opening riff to this groove (the hammer ons from the 5th to 7th frets on the E, A, and D string) the E string and A string seem to like to have their natural harmonics ring out. Are you muting those strings with your right forearm or something?

man, i noticed you have a lot of jazz basses, i have a standard 4-string jazz and i want a 5-string. Can you tell me if it is inferior in sound that of a 4-string? People tell me a stingray is better sounding than a stingray 5, so i ask, in a jazz bass is it equal?

Dunno, havent tried a 5 string for long, but why dont you go to a music shop where they have the same model in both versions and do a A/B test?
