bubinga5 Posted August 30, 2013 Posted August 30, 2013 (edited) i jest of course. i dont like knocking anyones playing, but it gets to a point where its so bad, i just cant keep it in. anyways its was about 25 years ago.. i shouldnt mock but i cant help it. i just hope that knowone in the 80's learned anything from this guy. love the SLAP on the top of his bass. thing is when he breaks his playing, down hes not bad at all..

JapanAxe Posted August 30, 2013 Posted August 30, 2013 Not exactly musical, and the guy's bass face rivals that of the bassist in Haim. Also at about 0.07 you can see the headstock decal. It says [i]Tagima[/i], but I thought it said [i]Tagina[/i], which is very easy to mis-spell... Quote

miles'tone Posted August 30, 2013 Posted August 30, 2013 Looks like he's off the Fast Show. Jazz slap fusion night....Nice. Quote
bigd1 Posted August 30, 2013 Posted August 30, 2013 Just don't bother learning SLAP, complete waste of time and energy. Every time I hear someone play SLAP they always, and I really do mean always play the same riff. If you really want to sound like SLAP sounds, buy a drum kit, it will sound much more musical and be of greater use to your band mates. I thank you.......................... not keen on SLAP style of bass playing me ! Ta very glad BIGd Quote

Hobbayne Posted August 30, 2013 Posted August 30, 2013 I dont why he,s got that drum machine going. He is not taking a blind bit of notice of any rhythm Quote
joeystrange Posted August 30, 2013 Posted August 30, 2013 What's the problem? It sounds exactly like all of the slap bass videos. Quote

Jellyfish Posted August 30, 2013 Posted August 30, 2013 I think the number one rule here is don't learn it if you think it sounds or makes you look [i]cool.[/i] Learn it because you think it sounds [i]good. [/i]Just like Mr. Miller makes it sounds! Quote
goblin Posted August 30, 2013 Posted August 30, 2013 Well it sounds...different His technique is appalling though! Quote

JTUK Posted August 30, 2013 Posted August 30, 2013 That slap 'style' in the OP really never got beyond the 80's and it wasn't that great then.... If people think that is where slap is now, or can't hear the difference, then maybe they don't listen enough to know what they are talking about. The best slap part, IMO, is rarely more than 2 bars long anyway. Quote
Happy Jack Posted August 30, 2013 Posted August 30, 2013 I've been waiting for years for that [i][b]Road To Damascus[/b][/i] moment when I'm suddenly struck by a blinding light from Heaven and realise that the song I am playing would just sound SO much better with a bit of slap ... Don't hold your breath, guys, it ain't happening any time soon. Quote

BassTractor Posted September 2, 2013 Posted September 2, 2013 I'm not sure of this interpretation, but I interpret some comments here as stating the man in the OP lacks musicality. Whatever the negatives of the vid on the OP might be, I think there is absolutely no lack of musicality in this man. He may be misguided, but imho does have a very clear picture of the musical depths that are his aim, even though he doesn't completely get there. I don't like the vid, but kudos where kudos are due.
