Me, I'm not real "keen" on solos on the electric bass guitar. I think bass solos are better suited for those playing jazz on the double bass.

A lot of guys ruined what little appeal slapping and popping ever had by over using and abusing the technique. It's to "in your face" and people think they have to respond.

It's cool and a lot of cats are good at it, but like I said to many armatures ruined it for them.

I just discovered this youtube video after youtube auto-played on from something else. I enjoyed this, and this thread seems as good a place as any to put it.

As much as I'd like to go negative on this type of stuff I really can't.

Not my kind of thing, but whatever he's doing he's good at it.

I just don't find them pleasant to listen to at all. Maybe it's because I also play guitar a bit, but I'd much rather hear a decent guitar solo than bass. But then, I'm not a fan of the whole continuous 16th note slap fests either. Which might discredit my opinion as a bassist...

9000 watts of backline, a custom bass with high output pickups and an onboard overdrive just in case. Well it was the 1980s - and their last ever UK gig - not that they knew at the time. @2:50
