urb Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 This programme is bloody brilliant - completely nails the problem of 'slap' being a bit show-offy and a complete valid technique - as Mitch Benn says, it's probably 'the most un-British thing you can do with a bass guitar...' - a genuinely well put together doc this and a thoroughly enjoyable listen, even if you hate slap bass... http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b04n62k3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
