Bay Splayer

yeah its a weird sound he`s getting. bit softer than slap and pop but more pronounced than fingers, almost like he is flicking across the strings ?

a bit of basic info about myself............. first picked up a bass about 20 years ago, played for about 4-5 years, gigging the last two of them. played mainly rock stuff with a plectrum and just got into slap before i drifted outta bass. out of the blue i decided to buy a bass and amp about 9-10 months ago and am glad i did, its my main hobby now and chills me out. play now with fingers and also slap.

hi, i am currently into learning disco bass...chic, earth wind & fire, kool & gang etc. i play fingerstyle and can slap fairly well. have heard that bernard edwards (RIP) used a technique called CHUCKING! could anyone explain what this is? i am refering to the start of EVERYBODY DANCE by CHIC mainly. also, what is the technique used in the chorus (the D bit) of I`M COMING OUT by DIANA ROSS and who is the player? thanks in advance for any advice received.
