Slap Bass?

Old Thunderthumbs of The Who got me into fattening the sound...

Old Craig weren't bad neither.

Here is a video that I've talked glowingly about for years. Love what this kid is doing on this classic Doobie Bros track.

Long Train Runnin' - Bass

Love me some slap bass, always wished that I had learned it.

Anyway, this whole song isnt' really slappy, but the bass solo has a feel-good, funky slap bass.... yes I said "BASS SOLO".

Brothers Johnson - Stomp

(around the 2:20 mark as well as the outro solo has some slappy stuff in it)

My favorite topic.. So.. it's called Slap and popping.. But you also hit your fret hand to add to the lick..It's a combination using lots of techniques to get that funk sound.

Juna out of Japan can demo some jazz popping and slapping..
