No, Phil's bass is an armored tank.

[QUOTE=thelowsoundofbass;13558764]Do you slap through the string? Or do you bounce? I find that I hit the body more when I slap through the string (which is all that I do now).

I slap through.

Fine, then [I]I'm[/I] some sort of super breed of bass player.

And go post in my thread, Jody.

definitley not, it is made of hardwood, but itll take a dent just as bad as an ibanez

[QUOTE=BenJammin;13558777]I slap through.[/QUOTE]

I worked the hitting the body out of my slapping because it was starting to hurt my fingers. I sometimes still do it when I get aggressive with slap.

My Ibanez has falling apart. I still have a hole in the back where I dropped my capo from like...2 feet up. A literal hole...

I need to go hit up New Orleans and Baton Rouge in the next few weeks and go to all the bass shops.

I think the paint chips are there from my finger nails. Occasionally a nail will catch the bass the right way and make a little chip in it.

You hit the body when you slap?

That doesn't sound right at all.

I wish I had an acoustic bass so I could do body thumps.

[QUOTE=Spaceman Spiff;13558838]You hit the body when you slap?

It happened when I first switched to slapping through the string. It was a combination of holding my fingers wrong and my slapping motion. I would slap through the A string and my popping finger would slip down too far and hit the body (only when popping the G string). Now it slips nicely under the desired string.

Do you do them on your guitar?

I've decided I hate Adam because he's too good at the bass.

Hey guys :)

[QUOTE=Mr. Jiggy Fly;13558966]I know, I am amazing huh?[/QUOTE]

Ha, I don't think I've heard you play.

Yes.

So let's discuss how I drained the entire blue part of my colour cartridge after only 7 album covers and labels. F[size=2]uck![/size]

He is good, but he will be the first to admit that there are plenty of better bassists out there.

Understatement.

I've gotta find a more cost-effective way of doing this.

Colour cartridge = $35

7 albums = $35

I'll be in a perpetual state of not making money.

And that is why you pay to get it done.

That's because he's modest as hell. I doubt there are many adult bassists who can tap like him, much less many kids his age. I think a little part of me dies every time I watch his version of the Maple Leaf Rag. There are better bassists, but I absolutely love how he plays.

Your selling music to make money? :amaze: SELLOUT!

Seriously though, a printing shop will be cheaper in the long run.

Photocopying.

That is a good point. But I am really bored so I am going for a run. Be back in about 10 because I am so out of shape now.

I leave for one second and like 10 replies happen.
