  3. Surfurplex says:

    You need to lift the finger off of the string, think that solves your problem ;)

  7. lvcyberpimpin says:

    that has got to be the worst slap tone i have ever heard… i get better tone out of my Wal Mart First Act bass.

  8. Dmanlamius76 says:

    Yea man, I agree! I did these vids on a beaten up old guitar amp, and a cheap ibanez. Horrible sound. If you take a look at my later vids, im using a musicman, and roland, and the tone is great. Its a pity I can’t go back and re-record these vids :(

  12. damnadults says:

  17. PFou9292 says:

    When I slap the string it doesn’t make any sound :( Just a vibration :(

  18. jakaaay says:

    maybe need to apply more pressure, just stick with it and youll get it

  19. PandaThe1st says:

    its very boom boom boom boom lol

  20. bassnotsomaster says:

    Is it ok to pluck the string between the left pickup and the bridge instead of between the two pickups..

  21. hologram67 says:

    Well Technically that’s all a sound is, a vibration on the bone in your ear drum.

    However Try either turning your Bass Amp up, or not Muting the String when you slap it.

  22. cpahitman1 says:

    sure there is no wrong way to do it, it will just just be a little more bassy, and you’d have to not use as much power to pop it.
