PawelG Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 (edited) ''Learn how to slap and use it rarely but tastefully.'' I don't remember who said it but he was right. One of my favorites: [url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nvMhPqg2jCo"]http://www.youtube....h?v=nvMhPqg2jCo[/url] I think Davie is just going for views and likes. Nothing wrong with that.

mcnach Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 [quote name='ped' timestamp='1498723688' post='3326517'] I love slap. This guy on FB is quite cool - he responds to requests from people to do all sorts of things like 'play bass with a fidget spinner' and 'play guitar strings on a bass' so I presume this video is a response to a challenge. [/quote] That's exactly what it is. These days some people can make some nice extra income from YouTube, and why not? He has this "challenge me" silly thing that leads him to post all kinds of videos... it's entertainment, and he does it well. His video of himself playing RHCP basslines with a chili (and a few extra sounds from other kitchen utensils) was as silly as it gets... but good fun. I like him. He always manages to come up with very cool funky lines... although I will not watch his whole 5 hours. But I'd love to see the stats about it. There must have been somebody somewhere who played the whole thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spectoremg Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 [quote name='fleabag' timestamp='1498743009' post='3326757'] Someone on talkbass asked Plati on his forum and Plati replied saying they got bored, and since GAD is a decent guitar player and can also slap just as well, it didnt make any difference, and they had some fun in the meantime [/quote]Bored on a Bowie gig lol - wish I could get that bored! He did a great job anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fleabag Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 Same here - and yes, i;m no slap lover but that bass line, and especially that awesome tone, is stunning. So its a one pickup Stingray thingy, and the cabs look like ampeg - any idea of amp ? I'd also like to know what bass GAD is playing. Looks like jazz pups , i think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcnach Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 [quote name='fleabag' timestamp='1498681481' post='3326355'] Thats because there's nothing remotely musical as far as slap bass goes. Well, there's exceptions of course, but they're in the minority Mark Plati springs to mind and shows how its possible to be musical [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lNqo0kIR-TU[/media] [/quote] hmmm, lovely sound... I love that growl... beautiful bassline too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
