It sounds meh. I prefer sustained mid-range bass lines.

slap sounds good for 30 seconds before it becomes a mess. it always finds a way to get on my nerves.

Just the bass version of guitar wanking

SLAPPIN THE BASS

it sounds like shit, almost as shit as the tbird you posted

well, we agree on one thing.

no band wants to hear a 5 minute slap bass song. drive everyone crazy

nobody wants to watch a shit bassist slap for 5 mins. but have you seen masters play, wooten, flea etc. the speed and technique needed whilst still being listenable is crazy

im a trumpet and bass player and slap to bass is trumpet to screaming. like its really cool when used in certain situations but it cant be ALL you play

this.

it's good if done properly. the wanky stuff annoys me a bit too but really slap bass is just accentuating grooves.

also take note of his superhuman right hand mute discipline

Still feels cheesy af

aww c'mon

may not be your thing but that's some of the finest bass playing in the world. anything but cheesy

slap me

im a bassist and I don't like slap most of the time
although it can be good like youtube.com/watch?v=zuTaM5eTVeo
