ras52 Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 [quote name='yorick' post='1251530' date='May 31 2011, 02:20 PM']Like two skeletons shagging on a corrugated tin roof in a thunder storm........... [/quote] Ah yes, that's how Sir Thomas Beecham described the sound of the harpsichord. Except he said "copulating" rather than shagging. Lord knows what he'd have to say about slap.

Doctor J Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 Slap bass? It's the sound of a guitarist compensating for those missing strings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YouMa Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 Rythmic perfection! when some people from the 70s and 80s do it. Overdone technique now a bit like modern remakes of old good movies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skol303 Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 Slap bass is: The sound of a tiny penis seeking attention. I mean, have you seen the size of Victor Wooten's tiny ickle hands? I rest my case.
