Hey Bogdan,
Thought I'd record some slap! I love the style and haven't touched the bass in some months so I could do with tightening up  Hope you like it - will try some of your lessons soon. -------------------- be excellent to each other

What a cool groove - very Victor Wooten like! I see that you have cool double thumping technique. Shall we see more of bass videos from you, maybe a REC take? When slapping I would recommend trying to do it with even more force and tightly with the drums/metronome for the best effect.
p.s. I gotta get a mechanical metronome - it looks damn cool! Which bass is that? Washburn? -------------------- Need to ask about anything GMC related? Send me a pm
Check out my lessons and my instructor board. Take a bass course now! My solo and band songs : Keep Going On, Susret, Plava Silueta |

My bass is a strange one, it is an old Yamaha RBX that has had the paint stripped of and then been stained (badly.). I also swapped the pickups out for an emg set with the 18volt mod and the bridge is a BadAss 2 bridge. All in all it has been butchered over the years but I cant find another bass that plays anything like it - and I have tried all sorts...I was thinking about getting one of those fodera pre-amps to fatten out the sound a bit when I can afford it. I will take a picture of it and put it here when I get a chance... -------------------- be excellent to each other
