Just found this:
Anyone has a bass to try? I have relatively fresh strings on and still retaining the zing and brilliance. I am really curious if this actually works. I have a hunch it would only work on really old and dried up strings, not a pack that was only gigged five times. I think the crud inside has to dry up a little so that it can be slapped out this way. A fresher pack would still have oils and lubricants present in the core and makes the crud very sticky.
Another thing that confused me is that why would it be necessary to slacken the string? Well I know it makes it easier to slap, but keeping the string tuned to pitch makes the winding to open up more than when it is slacked.
I bet all bassists will be interested into trying this one. Give feedback, please.
