SOLD: Ultimate Slap Bass by Stuart Clayton

[b]***SOLD*** ***SOLD*** ***SOLD***[/b]

I got this book around the start of the year. I thought it might be fun and useful to learn how to slap. So, after a brief dalliance and a blinding epiphany that I just don't like slap, it's up for sale. It's a great book (going gently from basics to bonkers in 206 pages), and a really interesting read with all the player biographies and interviews... but just not for me.

Minty-fresh condition including both CDs, and just [b]£20 delivered in the UK[/b].

This is the book:

Also includes a detailed history of the slap technique, as well as biographies of all of the major contributors to the technique.

Forgot you were a member on here, Stuart. So I'll just say again... great book! If I actually liked the sound of slap bass (and it's taken me a long while to realise that I just don't ), there's no way I'd be parting with it.

If you ever do a book on fretless bass, I'll pre-order.
