well change the …
well change the angle of the bass as in get the bass closer to your chest or further down
it depends on how you want to slap
mark king has his bass on his chest because his thumb and wrist are parallel to his strings
flea has it low so that his thumb is perpendicular
thats really important

Wowzers. I can slap a little bit but I’m sure stuff like this is definetely going to help me with my style. I want to do a jam band side project aside from my somewhat metal band. This will add new dimensions to my playing style plus it sounds B.A. on a Kustom Tuck N Roll

excellent lesson,
very useful, since most people who pick up the bass want to go to the flashy stuff of slapping.
this lesson focuses on the strong fundamentals that basically support everything.
