[quote name='Hot Tub' post='1164525' date='Mar 16 2011, 03:30 PM']From my perspective, this is the crux of the matter: There are ONLY two types of bass player. Those who can slap, and those who can't. It doesn't matter if you can slap but choose not to. It doesn't matter if you have decades of experience with the greatest names in music, or if you're 12 years old and have just picked up a bass for the very first time. It doesn't matter if you play with fingers or a pick, play jazz or rock, old classics, modern, pop, prog, rap, whatever, IT ABSOLUTELY DOES NOT MATTER. You can either slap, or you can't. This automatically creates a division, "us and them", those who can and those who can't. And with any division comes elitism. And with elitism comes envy, jealousy, derision, intimidation, superiority, inferiority, frustration, fear, anger, etc. Those who can slap look down on and demean and patronise and condescend those who can't. Like, "Is that it? Is that all you can do? Come back when you've grown up and learned to slap like a real bass player." Those who cannot slap are afraid of and intimidated by those who can. "I have absolutely got to learn this technique. I have no use for it, and no interest in it, but no one's gonna take me seriously as a bass player unless I'm good at slapping." I believe this is why slap bass generates so much strong feeling.[/quote] MB1. " Us and Them?..... and by the way which ones Pink?"
