    Double Bass How to pick up slaps?

    In one of my projects without a drummer, I often find myself slapping the neck as a rhythm feature. But obviously it doesn't translate to FoH from my piezo pickup (Gage Realist Lifeline). I've seen some pickups with extra sensors to put under the fingerboard -- is that really the only way to go...

    Double Bass Innovation Silver Slaps

    I hear great reviews about the silver slaps strings. I've tried them on several occasions but perhaps i don't leave them on long enough to give them an honest shot. They always sound to "plasticky" and never enough like gut when you're actually slapping. They sound great for straight pizz. I've...

    Double Bass Mixing Slaps

    Hi I am basically (No pun intended!) a jazz player--getting into slap style. I can single slap / double slap / triple slap / quadruple slap- but find it hard to mix the slaps and mixing the slap style into 4/4 walking jazz bass style. Any tips? --apart from 'more practice!' Joe Fick is such an...

    Who (if any of you) slaps on a 5 string, narrow spacing (Ibby SRX etc)

    Long ago (before my 15 year hiatus) I slapped a lot - on a Tobias 5, which has pretty narrow spacing. Now - I don't slap much. When I do I tend to use my 4 string ATK. I'm playing around with slapping on my only fretted 5'er, which is an SR605. And it's not as easy as I remember to keep the...

    For sale Innovation strings (Golden Slaps?)

    Took these off a bass I recently purchased. Definitely Innovations, and considering the low tension and gold core they have, I’m guessing they’re Golden Slaps. Previous owner said they’d been on for about a year and a half. Still feel good and have plenty of life. Good chance to try synthetics...

    Hi guys just wondering if anyone is into playing clown music on the bass or maybe even dresses as clown on stage? I'm lots of slap experience but whatever I play always ends up sounding like clown music. Is this a new sub-genre called "clown-bass" that I have invented? I want to become oen of...
