I have always been frustrated by the desire of some quarters to [b][color="#FF0000"]'dumb down' [/color][/b]everything, be it music, books, films, tv, art - whatever. I have always preferred excellence in any discipline and, whilst I do expect everyone to be 'the best', I like to see some sort of desire in the individual to develop, to learn, to grow. It is that tendency that makes people interesting (whether they are musicians or not). The absence of that instinct generally renders people pretty one-dimensional and, frankly, boring. That is why the popular media is so bad; most people don't want to be challanged.

I started in HM bands, as I have said elsewhere, and have played in all sorts of different situations in all sorts of locations. In my experience, those musicians who are educated (and self-educated is still educated) are generally (and that word is important) more motivated, quicker, more creative, more respectful of the musicians around them, more professional, easier to communicate with, less frustrating, [b][color="#FF0000"]DEFINATELY[/color][/b] better improvisers, more responsive, more open-minded and are more rounded. They are, in a nutshell, more interesting to be around.

The celebration of mediocrity is going to kill all Art; its already disabled it.[/quote]

[quote name='ruztiwarren' post='275064' date='Sep 1 2008, 11:10 PM'][b]That little bug of yours [/b]nearly gave me a f**king heart attack! Last year I DJed with my laptop at an outdoor festival. I got about six lightening bugs/thrips/small black bugs like felt-tip marks under my screen which promptly died. Had to have the whole top screen section replaced - 17" MacBook Pro! Laptop out of warranty but Apple replaced free of charge, upgraded to glossy screen and replaced a blown battery - £460 worth of repairs gratis!!! You can imagine my initial reaction to your graphics![/quote]

you`re not the first to comment on it and you definitely wont be the last

[quote name='phil_the_bassist' post='275230' date='Sep 2 2008, 10:18 AM']i think that using the fleshy bit at the tip of your thumb (if you look at your thumbnail as a clock, the bit at [u]10/11 oclock[/u]) to slap is how they recommend you do the double thumb type way...i can't get on with it but [b]unfortunately it's not a new [/b][b]method [/b](if I'm understanding you right!), sorry!

Good luck, if you get on with it you might get some heft chops with your new way![/quote]

[b]yeah i know really, sort of meant it tongue in cheek[/b]

[u]thats how i slap now, was slapping at 9 o clock[/u]

as for the new chops, i doubt it

ashes to ashes - david bowie

recently suffered a wrist ligament injury, not bass related, and as a result found i couldn`t slap as cleanly as before

basically, although my wrist has healed, my thumb doesnt bend away from my palm at the same angle it used to

whilst noodling i found myself hitting the string with the fleshy pad at the end of my thumb, as opposed to bony bit at the thumb joint

anyone else play this way or have i invented a new (cack-handed as my dad used to call me) technique

cant go wrong with pino stuff

you [u]have to learn [/u]where ever i lay my hat, easy to play and sounds the dog gonads

[quote name='Mike' post='274586' date='Sep 1 2008, 03:01 PM']Not remotely on topic but I've smudged my laptop screen trying to swat that damned bug![/quote]

yeah , annoying isn`t it

alternatively, to those of you that play it, out of curiosity, where do you play it...

bottom 2 strings or middle 2...?
