I air slap. I am much better at it than actual slap.

The back of my phone won't stay on properly anymore because i slapped it too much while it was in my pocket (steady on now).

Err no, never have & never will. Go for it all all of you who do though.

[Jimryan]

More often than I should.

[merlin]

sorry to say all the time,thumb in pocket,fingers banging out the beat..sad really

[Paul S]

I do it whenever I listen to music or even run through a tune in my head. But I always air bass fingerstyle yet play with a pick.

[voodoobassman]

Nah.

[E sharp]

[sup]Yeah , but I'm one of the very few people who can tune an Air Bass . [/sup]

[Big_Stu]

Isn't it like ........ a law?
I also - almost always - have a moon-stomp every time I hear Madness' "One Step Beyond", like this aft.

tend to pluck at the steering wheel while i'm driving sometimes

[the_skezz]

I do it all the time at gigs, and sometimes when I'm walking down the street listening to my Walkman. My excuse is my Reynauds Syndrome fudging hurts my hands and moving them about a bit can help

[Stacker]

Ohh yesss

I always think of this clip when I hear level 42.

[rushbo]

...how can you not?

I was watching a gig on thursday (organised and hosted by Tony Butler of Big Country fame, sorry I just had to ). I was stood at the bar with a very good local bass player and he started playing air bass. I pointed out he'd obviously bent his air bass as he was plucking the side of his hip but his fretting hand was in the traditional position

What an amateur!

[dmccombe7]

of course and used to have a bad habit of tapping the beat by bouncing my right foot on its toes at very fast pace.

You know it's Gary Newman 'Music For Chameleons' and not Level 42 right?

[Blademan_98]

Ah, I often play air bass

I also jig about whilst riding my motorcycle. I get colleagues who have followed me asking what the problem was!

[stoker]

Been there, done that.

[fretmeister]

All the time.

Although the Steve Harris machine gun thing looks damn odd without a bass.

The beauty of playing air bass is that you never play and bum notes and those difficult lines/solos are always perfect.

I look at Air Bass as an extension of Jaco's visualising play the bass.
