Bigsby Posted December 2, 2008 Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 I actually can't believe no-one has pointed out that, just like domestic violence, slap bass is completely unacceptable either in public or behind closed doors.I remember trying to teach myself slap bass in about 1993.I ended up with my wrist in one of those tubigrip things and had to endure loads of comments from classmates about injuring myself wanking.

TR!ΔNGL€ T€€TH Posted December 2, 2008 Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 What is an infraction?It is when one of the mods tell you off for calling someone (rightly or wrongly) a fucking stupid cunt. It is the Aberdeen-Music slap on the wrists. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest idol_wild Posted December 3, 2008 Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 I like how the mods are resisiting banning you intentionally. It makes you look like an even bigger chocolate, because it's clearly what you're gunning for.Epic fail, my friend.But it's entertaining me.As you were...

Bigsby Posted December 3, 2008 Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 It is when one of the mods tell you off for calling someone (rightly or wrongly) a fucking stupid cunt. Not just for calling someone a stupid fucking cunt. I got one for calling into question the erection causing abilities of one of our female members.

Indie King Posted December 3, 2008 Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 i got 1 for (rightly) calling someone a "twat" although in retrospect, it may have been for "persistent fouling" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larsen B Posted December 3, 2008 Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 To who ever wants to play slap bass (cause I'm totally lost as to who it is here) just pretend you're giving someone the middle finger, turn it upside and curl the tip of your finger under your D or G string. Then pretend your hand is rotating upon that finger, and when it does so let the outer side of your thumb "slap" the E or A string, and "pop" the D or G string with your curled up middle finger and BANG, you're playing slap bass! You might want to do some fretting with your other hand and throw in some muted "ghost" notes or whatever you call them for a more percussive fidgety effect in between actual fretted notes. Now wasn't that helpful, you don't even need lessons now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemonade Posted December 4, 2008 Report Share Posted December 4, 2008 My mate Ron is a fantastic slap bassist ( check out YouTube - ronckr1's Channel and YouTube - Belt and the Dead ) .

chris h Posted December 6, 2008 Report Share Posted December 6, 2008 I actually can't believe no-one has pointed out that, just like domestic violence, slap bass is completely unacceptable either in public or behind closed doors.When I saw the title of this thread the first thing I thought was "I wonder how long before Jon appears raving about domestic violence". Quite right though. Slap bass is foolish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
campervanbethoven Posted December 6, 2008 Report Share Posted December 6, 2008 Is it only considered offensive if you are talking about a bass guitar ? Surely there really is no other way the double bass should be played other than by slapping it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon Posted December 6, 2008 Report Share Posted December 6, 2008 Slap bass is the big one of the Unholy Trinity of Bass Playing, the other two being incredibly short straps and moneyshot gurning.When combined with these, fairies die and houses collapse.Double bass is hereby given the benefit if the doubt.
