Hi Darren, I've been playing bass since the Jurassic age but one technique I've never got to grips with is slapping.
I suspect a lack of motivation as it's not my favourite thing to do, or listen to, but some jobs require at least a basic competence.
Here's my question : Why do I produce such a feeble sound when striking the D and G strings with my thumb? The E and A ring out beautifully, but the higher two are quiet to the point of inaudibility.
Makes no difference how fast or slow I'm playing, open or fretted notes.
Any ideas?
