http://www.fruduadirectdeal.com - Dave Marks bass slap solo in the Marcus Miller style and tone using a the Frudua GFJ 4 bass and the Frudua Bass Frudua B600 amp head.

On bass guitar, "slap bass" usually refers to a percussive playing technique most commonly used in funk, disco, soul, jazz, Latin, pop, and many other genres. The slapping style sounds much more percussive than regular fingering of notes with the plucking hand, and is also usually louder (although on an electric instrument technique, the volume can be adjusted with the volume knob) and more distinct than the sound of a bass guitar played with the usual plucking techniques in a lesson.

In the solo slap technique, the bassist replaces the usual plucking motion of the index and middle fingers with "slaps" and "pops". In the slap, the bassist uses the bone of the thumb joint to strike the lower strings (usually the E and A, and occasionally D, strings) near the base of the guitar's neck. In the pop, the bassist will use the index and middle fingers of the plucking hand to snap the higher-pitched strings away from the body of the bass (see tutorial), causing them to bounce off the fretboard.

Some internationally recognized rock bass guitar players known primarily for their use of slapping in their playing include Bootsy Collins (solo artist; Bootsy's Rubber Band, Funkadelic, Parliament, Praxis), P-Nut (311), Larry Graham (Sly and the Family Stone, Graham Central Station), Marcus Miller (solo artist, Miles Davis, David Sanborn, Luther Vandross), Louis Johnson (The Brothers Johnson, Quincy Jones, Michael Jackson), Mark King (Level 42), Mike Gordon (Phish), Flea (Red Hot Chili Peppers), Benny Thomas Solo Artist, Les Claypool (solo artist, Primus), Fieldy (Korn), Jayen Varma (solo artist), Tetsuya (L'Arc-en-Ciel).
