[quote name='Beedster' timestamp='1331655632' post='1576678'] You'll need to develop an extremely nonchalant expression also almost as if this slapping thing is what you do to warm up. If like me you're a really crap player you can get something close to a slap effect by simply not controlling the degree to which the strings vibrate against the board. Statistically you'll be on the money tempo-wise 10% of the time. From there it's a matter judicious editing Get that vid of the french guy on the Cordes Lambert thread, watch it four or five times, and ask yourself............. [/quote] You'll need a hat also

Oh yes I think his face colour has been edited though..... Genius track, i'd kill to sound that good. Wouldn't mind playing bass that well either

I like the one with the Dubouchet duet with the red faced chap playing the banjo. Can't find it now but hope someone will post it. Mrs Crap DB Player said she thought he was possibly the scariest looking musician she's ever seen (the banjo player that is), and she's lived with me a fair few years so has met a few!

Anyone know whether there's any benefit of using one of these with a down-firing speaker such as the Mesa Walkabout or Acoustic Image Contra?

Yep, sold my my 4003 FL to Greg and then bought it back, best decision I ever made (bass-wise anyway). BTW, that Sadowsky looks familiar John

[quote name='Jumanji' timestamp='1330988333' post='1566054'] Relief that your briefs aren't being digested, or that I didn't buy a poopy bass? [/quote] Nothing wrong with the bass, surprised it went as low as it did really. My pants will live to fight another day

Clarky is, as has been said several hundred times above (and a few of those by me), a 100% top guy to deal with. He even managed to impress my extraordinary hard to impress that-London-type friends when he collected the bass in question. Look forward to next time mate C

Man, I can't begin to describe the relief
