WalMan Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 You wave both hands in the general vicinity of your bass in a vaguely rhythmic fashion until it sounds like someone throwing a large box of assorted Lego & Meccanno down a concrete stairwell. Can you tell I am just jealous because I cannot do all that wicketty whacketty woo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
escholl Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 write a bassline that sounds good, then play the complete opposite of that at 400 notes per second in a style reminiscent of a moped going up a hill at full throttle. wait, i'm not helping, am i?

YouMa Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 Just pretend you are doing a drum solo on the strings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowdown Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 (edited) Alps Loos is an anagram of slap solo. Adolf Loos was responsible for a design of building in the Austrian Alps. There is some info below...... which is about as useful as a slap solo in the Uk these days... According to some Basschatters........ Khuner Country House Alpenhof Kreuzberg, Fam. Steiner A-2650 Payerbach Kreuzberg 60 Austria Adolf Loos and Heinrich Kulka 1930 The Khuner Country House is a late work of Loos, completed when he was sixty, in the same year as the Villa Müller in Prague. Like the Villa Müller, a restrained (in this case somewhat traditional) facade hides a subtle interior design of different room heights – Loos' Raumplan.

bubinga5 Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 i presume you know the technique well.. If so , do what sounds good to you, but what ever you do , DONT slap at a thousand miles an hour where the music is lost and its a platform for your incredible agility. ( i hate those You Tube idiots)....i dont know what music you want to write a slap line to, but generally (IMHO) less is more.. A great way is to work out a simple bass line that fits the song fingerstyle, then thumb the same bass line, adding pops, etc when you think its sound ok... At the end of the day, Slap 'technique' is just that..it shouldnt rule the sound..again IMHO... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guy!! Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 Usually slapping one fret and popping the octave is a good place to start =] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
