I've only recently discovered RHCP's Return of the Dream Canteen, and been trying to learn the opening few bars of slap on Tippa My Tongue. I've seen various videos of people when they get to the notes on the G string either play P P P or P S P. Is there a right way to play these notes? I'm not studied enough on Flea's technique to know how he would approach this. I've watched the one live video I could find but as always the camera folks don't know how to aim at a fretboard for any length of time to satisfy us musos.

My SR1600D has a panga panga and purple heart neck which I only noticed as I was running a cloth up and down to clean it that the neck carve feels somewhat lumpy, or wavy. Has anyone else noticed this with their panga panga neck? It's almost like it goes with the grain pattern. I don't notice it while playing though.

It's a lovely instrument. I don't slap much if at all. I have large hands but no sausage fingers so the slim neck feels good. The Aguilar pickups are quite dynamic and I like the preamp, especially the mid frequency selector.

I love a loud paint job too https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/191177-ibanez-porn/page/7/#findComment-5250001

I'd be aggrieved having to buy a cheap bass off Amazon for the drunk greasy dipsticks to play. I'd sooner scour charity shops or car boot sales for something with 2 strings and a bowed neck with 1 inch action and a flaky pickup that only works half the time.

The latest update in the local newspaper says people were spotted inside packing stock into boxes. I guess they didn't find a buyer then. https://www.theargus.co.uk/news/25065145.everything-know-far-closure-gak-brighton/

A double Paddington. I'll see myself out.

I was in Badlands recently trying out a used but mint Squire 40th Jazz. The owner and I sat and chatted about the whole Fender standard move. Nice chap, great shop. But please someone go buy that Jazz and save me from my GAS.
