I can only imagine

[PawelG]

And it's all going to be in E?

[Highfox]

I can only think this is going to cause some injury to his neck shoulders and that pulling finger at least. His posture dosen't look that comfy
Good for Sire if the bass can stay in tune for the whole 5 hours.

[musicbassman]

Sounds like the local music shop on a Saturday morning circa 1990.........................

[TheGreek]

I think even the most avid slap fan is going to get bored with this. Will anybody actually tune in for the whole 5hrs?

[Bass_Guardian]

Imagine needing a big dump 2 hours into this..

Maybe he's doing it for a wrist injury charity fundraiser.

I thought this might be more about Chic and Jerry Barnes...

I'm not sure, but he has had nearly 23 thousand likes on this and goodness knows how many views.. Good advertising I guess?
Edit to say looks like he is getting some donations as well.. only 200 bucks 4 hours in,.

[ivansc]

At least he doesn't appear to be attempting to actually do anything remotely musical during the 5 hours....

[fleabag]

Thats because there's nothing remotely musical as far as slap bass goes.

Well, there's exceptions of course, but they're in the minority

Mark Plati springs to mind and shows how its possible to be musical

I love slap.

This guy on FB is quite cool - he responds to requests from people to do all sorts of things like 'play bass with a fidget spinner' and 'play guitar strings on a bass' so I presume this video is a response to a challenge.

[/quote]Great example. Never understand why he and Gail switched for that one.

[fleabag]

Someone on talkbass asked Plati on his forum and Plati replied saying they got bored, and since GAD is a decent guitar player and can also slap just as well, it didnt make any difference, and they had some fun in the meantime
