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.
