dc2009 Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 [quote name='mcgraham' post='1300707' date='Jul 12 2011, 10:17 AM']Non-stop extended periods of slaping can be tolerable... when tasteful, non-repetitive and at an acceptable volume. It's when it's not tasteful/poor, exceedingly repetitive with the same riffs over and over, and at ear deafening volume that I start to consider self-harming as a more enjoyable alternative,[/quote] I was trying a bass out the other day and after giving it a lot of fingerstyle work I really wanted to try how it slapped as it felt as if it had amazing potential. I'm no good in general, particularly not at slapping, but didn't want to seem like I was showing off in the middle of the store. Such a predicament! In the end I just turned the bass right down and slapped away, and it was great too, but I had to stop quickly before I felt like too much of a knob.
