Two questions.

I'm sitting here with my bass around me and am doing this, and am getting it. But I've come to see that slapping and popping sound essentially the same no matter where you do it. Can't you just do one or the other for a full song? For example, I point to (insert random song full of slaps and pops). Could you just slap the entire song or pop it?

And secondly, does it really make a difference where you do your slaps? I've tried this, too. I like to stay...er...I guess "central" with my playing. As in if I start out playing between the pickups (why? theres about an inch freedom, but just exemplifying), I want to stay there, even if I have to slap and pop and so on. So does it make a difference?
