My dog doesn’t like slap bass

[Beedster]

Sitting in the living room next to Buddy, our Choc Lab. looking through some BC threads, find one that looks interesting, press play, nice four on the floor drum pattern, then in comes the bass, Buddy gets up, looks at me angrily and walks out

Probably prefers a ‘walking’ bassline

Good dog!

I tend to agree

Strange really ... most slap bass is a dog's dinner. 🤨

[TheGreek]

He might if it was played on one of these

[Beedster]

The only other thing he appears to hate as much as slap bass is the garden hose with which, simply by moving towards it, i can regulate his behaviour significantly. Slap bass might just become the indoor equivalent. I might establish a new school of dog training based on the works of Miller et al

That looks expensive

Best thread ever! 😂🤣😂

I always trust a dog's judgement 🙂

I'm with the dog.

Smart dog - our fudge is a choc lab and ridiculously smart; I doubt she’d be a fan either 

 

fudge and toffee - I asked them about slap bass but they seemed to think I was suggesting snacks of some kind - though one did also fart, so maybe we should draw a conclusion from that on the topic

Buddy more a Snoop Dog kinda guy

Our four will never knowingly find out if they like slap bass or not unless they accidentally heard a moment or two on a Youtube clip before I managed to hit the 'back' button.

But who knows, when they are kicking their legs about like crazy when they dream ... they might just be running away from hearing slap bass 🙂

or miming to Mark King?...

Declan sums it up as the spokesdog for his household 🙂

Leading comment if ever I heard one 

[TheLowDown]

Your dog has good taste 👍

[Geek99]

More a “lack of poor taste” I suspect 

slap bass does not smell of 

squirrels

webbox

bonio

old shoes 

underwear

cats

poo  (okay jury out on that one perhaps ) 

so unlikely to get a positive response from pretty much any mutt

You’d have thought they’d be a fan of Bark King but maybe not Flea’s

You think that's bad. Leonard runs out of the room if I even walk in carrying a bass/guitar. I don't even have to play it...

[cetera]

I'm with Buddy..... I feel the same every time I go to the London Bass Show....

[Beedster]

I reckon that if enough of us took our respective hounds to the next Bass Bash, the chorus of disapproval might drown out even the most determined of slappers
