xilddx Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 Stunning slap bass, really beautiful and musical, also superbly executed. I love this guy, Stephen Jay, never heard of him before today, he was Weird Al's bassist. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RVILzPXpSSo& Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Cellario Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 Good player...I also grew to hate slapping in the 80's when I worked in a music shop and everyone tried to play like Mark King but this is very tasty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Wicked note choices aren't they! I like this too, although it's more circusy, but still tasty. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8WWcf6eVCfI#t Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lowender Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 That first video shows some serious skill. The second one, not so much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gary mac Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 Very pleasing choice of notes, lovely timing and right for the song. Thanks Nige that is the first bit of slap that I've enjoyed in a long long time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
witterth Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 I don't "trust" a bass payer/dep who doesn't like slap bass, its too much fun. you end up with a dullard who loves Flat strings and makes excuses for wrong notes being their "tone" if I was looking for a dep it would be a hi fi player every time. they isn't lazy brother.am I still talking crap?( could be) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTUK Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 It is just music... if you put the part in and it doesn't come off.... then you've failed. There aren't many places in a song that anything more than a fill will work ..unless it is an out and out slap riff and then you really need the groove... It is like most solo-type elements, if you go for it, you better have something to say.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest markinthegreen Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 Slap is appalling, However I do like that little thing Pino did on "Come back and stay" but other than that YUK! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
