So i decided to record some of my old slap-bass riffs, just for fun. I've called the clip "The Thumbdancer" ;).

Drums is from Steinberg Groove Agent, a PITA to program and use. But sounds pretty nice as soon as you get the hang of it. Instrument used was my old, ****ty Squier P-Bass 5-stringer, with 6months old D'Addario strings.

Preamp was a Digitech RP100, with a clean tone + compression for the slap & fingerstyle, and the "rectifier" model for the sheehan-ish lead :p. Soundcard is ****ty, the cheapest Creative card there is. So i guess that explains why the sound isnt the best.

Everything was done in one take, except for a part where i somehow missed the strings.

Enjoy! :)

And oh; please don't take this clip seriously. I'm not much of a slap player myself, i just use it for showoff ;).

I love showing your stuff to the bassist in my band, hes a bit of a slap player as well, mainly just to show of and annoy people when we unplug his amp. Was it you who did the seinfield?

Re: New Slap-Bass Clip! :)

I would be lying if I said I didn't like the bass! Now the guitar on the other hand is a little on the bumblebee side!!!

Now Erland, what did I say? I said "guitar". Is a bass a guitar? YES!!!! I do know Mr. Sheehan and he doesn't sound like a bumble bee. I dig the slap stuff!! It is really impressive. I do however stick to my guns on the guitar part!!!
 
Re: New Slap-Bass Clip! :)

:notworthy AWESOME! I know bass players twice your age who can't even come close. Any interest in moving to Canada and starting a band with me? You kick ass!
