  1. Hmmn we seem to have similar music tastes bubinga. I started off loving rap.hip-hop then wanted to play some of the bass. After some research I realised most were sampled from old funk/soul tracks and started listening to that.

    Favourite has always been Ice Cube. To be honest the beat/rhythm is the main thing for me. I don't really listen to lyrics.

    Strangely only recently discovered EPMD

    Supposedly the first rap (I think):

  3. I started out pretty much exclusively playing slap bass. Now that I play more finger style, I really hate playing octaves. Just wondering if people had any tips? Obviously with slap its incredibly easy (and natural for me) whereas with finger style I can never get comfortable. I'm not sure if its better to move my hand or to keep my fingers in place (if its just repeating the same octave), or just use my thumb and fingers (little trick as I don't have a floating thumb technique).

  4. I would add - its one of those weird things where you pick up things over time. Some of the fills/techniques I use I'm not even sure what I'm doing, they are just things which I have picked up from messing around. Basically, there is a collection of little things which work, like a database, which builds up. Left hand percussive slaps can often add subtle differences but it definitely seems more "feel" orientated.
