He guys, 
 
I am a bit new here. 
 
Currently I have Fender Jazz Bass American Standard with custom shop pick ups. 
 
I would like to have an another bass at hand, a little bit different from my Fender. Actually, the Fender is a great instrument except the one thing for me - quite narrow neck. I am looking for a bass with kind of 50th neck profile and short scale length  as well. 
 
Recently I came across Gibson basses like Les Paul and SG, EG models. The thing is, the demos I found on youtube showing only finger style playing and sadly no slap at all. I am Mark King`s fan and for me the slap is a must. 
 
Could somebody advise me please if you tried the slap on Gibson basses? How does it sound? Which Gibson bass is the best in your opinion? 
 
Maybe somebody foes have a Gibson bass for sale or trade in for my J-bass? 
 
Thanks in advance

of course you can.  i have a Gibson EB, two humbuckers with split coil and it is very happy to be slapped :-).  i am thinking about selling it to be honest.
