Hey what's your EQ like? I can play this song just fine but for some reason I cannot get a decent sounding EQ for that song! Hit me up:)

[andyfen0]

@TheGroovemaker1 In this video all I'm doing is putting both pickups all the way up and putting the tone knob about middle so it' not muffled but not super-clear. It all depends on the bass. Generally for the best slap tones on a bass you want the pickup balance to be in the middle (using both pickups equally). Your bass eq should be up and about even with your treble (again, all depending on your gear). Normally you would also want to cut your mids but how much is up to you. Hope that helps!!

Yo I know Vic Tunes his Basses Differently is this one just Standard tuning? (e,a,d,g) or is it (a,d,g,c)?

[andyfen0]

@11rfpro It's standard.

hey man i got a question: the slaps you do are both on the same string (G) I can't see precisely on what strings you pop and pluck

[andyfen0]

@coolin240 It varies. I generally do all the pops on the G but when I do the double-pop (I guess that's what you'd call it) with my index and middle finger I sometimes pop the G and D (my middle finger on the D, my index in the G)

great vid. nicely done! 5/5

is this bass an squier vint jazz mod?

[andyfen0]

@EseeeDarwin As soon as I tap the note with my left hand, I immediately use the same hand to mute the strings for my right hand to pop. Does that make sense?

[lavaxtris1]

I usually hit the D before the Bb instead of plucking.

[horrorshowbass]

alright man, cheers for vid. im getting there with this one slowly but surely,

any advice on the tappin bit of the riff?, its still tricky for me!

[Rizilo]

Thank you so much for this video! I've never been able to figure out how to play this and I ended up sorta making my own version with a slap, left hand, pluck kinda pattern. This will help me a lot and probably many others.
